In 2025, Quentin Johnston put his past problems behind him and had a respectable campaign. He amassed 735 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns. He was ninth in the league in receiving touchdowns, and the passer’s quarterback rating when targeting him was 119.3, which was eighth-best in the league. It was obviously mostly Justin Herbert throwing to him, but Trey Lance also stepped in when Herbert broke his hand. Johnston was efficient, finishing with a low 8.3% drop rate.
