Davis 2

Take a look at some of the top social media moments about the Chargers during the 2023 NFL Draft:

Day 3 - Derius Davis, Jordan McFadden and Scott Matlock

Chargers get a blazing fast WR/KR in TCU's Derius Davis. Fun player for Kellen Moore's offense. Another Freaks List guy. He's little but was a Louisiana state champ in the 200 meters and had the nation’s fourth-fastest 400-meter time. https://t.co/f1cp1g5pfv

With the picks of TCU WRs Quentin Johnston and Derius Davis, it is the first time since 1997 #Chargers have drafted two players from the same school who play the same position. That year they took North Carolina A&T LBs Michael Hamilton and Toran James.

The CFP title game at SoFi Stadium didn't go real great for TCU, but 3 Horned Frogs who played there in January will now play there on Sundays in the fall: Quentin Johnston & Derius Davis to the Chargers, Steve Avila to the Rams.
— Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) April 29, 2023

Fun #Chargers moment: Quentin Johnson hops on Derius Davis' Zoom and asks the 1st question.

Davis deemed himself "a party starter" in that he can take a punt/kick to the house and get the scoring started.

The Chargers originally traded pick 200 (and a 2022 second-rounder) to the Bears for Khalil Mack. Bears traded it back to them last year for a pair of 2022 7th rounders. Chargers use it on Boise State DT Scott Matlock.
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) April 29, 2023

Scott Matlock told me the coolest person he met in the NFL during the entire pre-draft process was Kellen Moore with the Chargers.

Sure enough, he's headed to Los Angeles. Pretty awesome.

— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) April 28, 2023

The last offensive player from TCU that the Chargers drafted turned out pretty good.

Also, Quentin Johnston’s collegiate career ended in the same place he’ll call home in the NFL: SoFi Stadium.
— Chris Hayre (@chrishayre) April 28, 2023

21. #Chargers - Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU. Best YAC WR in the class. Big-bodied type. Not a contested-catch dominator but can flashy tremendous circus-grab ability. Explosive. Not a true separator. Love him as initially the 3rd option. Grade: A+
— Chris Trapasso 🏈 (@ChrisTrapasso) April 28, 2023

The Chargers are just going to try to outscore everybody. Quentin Johnston is a BIG PLAY WAITING TO HAPPEN with impressive run after the catch ability for a tall receiver. Johnston will receive a lot 1 on 1 coverage lining up with Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Joshua Palmer.
— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) April 28, 2023

Kellen Moore will know how to use Quentin Johnston.
— Marcus Mosher (@Marcus_Mosher) April 28, 2023

From ESPN draft analysts on new #Chargers WR Quentin Johnston: "Johnston is a long-strider but has good timed-speed for such a big wideout. He is a deep threat with the buildup speed to stretch the field."
— Lindsey Thiry (@LindseyThiry) April 28, 2023

L.A. Chargers select TCU WR Quentin Johnston 21st overall⚡️

19 missed tackles forced last season (1st among Big 12 WRs) pic.twitter.com/PyCwriZBDH
— PFF College (@PFF_College) April 28, 2023

Interesting nugget on Quentin Johnston from @dpbrugler: He ranked No. 2 in FBS last year with 8.9 yards after the catch per reception. Definitely a missing element in #Chargers offense.
— Daniel Popper (@danielrpopper) April 28, 2023

Quentin Johnston is a GAMER!! 🙌

The @chargers select the @TCUFootball WR at No. 21 overall.
