Staley said the Bolts believe Johnston is a home-run threat from anywhere on the field.
“He’s a weapon to score the ball any time that he touches it,” Staley said. “There are very few receivers in the game who are threats to score the ball whenever they have it.”
Johnston put up plenty of eye-popping numbers last season at TCU but the most impressive one might have been this: He ranked second in FBS last year with 8.9 yards after the catch per reception.

TCU OL Steve Avila will not have to wait long to hear his name on Friday in Round 2 of the NFL Draft and teams are hoping he’s still around when they pick.

Avila is a powerhouse who can move and would be a Day 1 starter. The former TCU star is a bit raw, but he has the potential to develop into the best interior lineman in the draft.
Another impressive element of Avila’s contribution is leadership. He was a respected presence within the Horned Frogs’ locker room during their memorable run to the college football national championship game and communicates extremely well on the field pre-snap.
