"If this dude could just catch the ball he’d be a good wide receiver huh," stated a fan.
"I’ll never forget watching TCU with my boy and looking out for QJ bc he was considered the best WR prospect at the time(Giants needed WR). I remember he caught a ball that he should’ve housed for a TD and I said “yup I don’t want him on my team,”" tweeted this fan.

In March, Williams returned to LA by signing a one-year contract worth $6 million. However, in June, the veteran announced that he is hanging up his helmet. Williams' decision caught everyone off guard. With the veteran stepping down, Quentin Johnston is expected to take on the role of WR1 next season.

Speaking about Mike Williams' retirement in an interview, Johnston said:

"At this point, we're just treating it like the next man up. Him leaving was unexpected, but at the same time, we just gotta fill in the blank and keep moving."

With all the ups and downs this offseason, it will be interesting to see how Quentin Johnston performs in the upcoming NFL campaign.
