Zion Johnson is an immediate contributor to this Chargers offense. Slater and Johnson in back-to-back seasons.

Justin Herbert is happy.
Austin Ekeler on Zion Johnson: âGood protection up front, bigger holes up front â makes our job so much easier. ⊠Love the pick.âpic.twitter.com/4pITRFe0q7

Zion Johnson is the best pure guard in the draft.

Road grader in the run game & phenomenal anchor in the pass game. Perfect pick for Justin Herbert and what the @chargers need.
Fairway picks for me-

Aidan Hutchinson
Trent McDuffie
Zion Johnson
In a draft with a ton of uncertainty, I'd sleep well drafting those 3 guys.
#Chargers take OG Zion Johnson, Boston College. Johnson did not allow a single pressure in 2021 on 347 pass block plays, the most pass blocks without allowing a pressure by any Power 5 player last season, per @ESPNStatsInfo.

Nobody picks more good players and gets less recognition for it than Chargers GM Tom Telesco. Another home run last night. Boston College G/C Zion Johnson is going to Pro Bowls. #BoltUp

Zion Johnson to the Chargers is my FAVORITE pick so far. Just phenomenal.
