McDaniel told reporters that they would be “hard pressed to find a guy that’s grown more, specifically in the last week, than Q.” McDaniel then said that Johnston “has some traits in his game that are similar to some very powerful, explosive, productive receivers” that McDaniel coached previously. The two players McDaniel referenced are former Texans WR Andre Johnson and former Falcons WR Julio Jones. To be clear, we expect Johnston to fall well short of those lofty comparisons. Johnston finished as the PPR WR34 last season. Inching his way up the WR3 tier could happen under McDaniel’s guidance. Hopefully, the positive reports continue during organized team activities and training camp.
