Johnson played in thirteen games for the Niners catching 35 passes for 435 yards and three touchdowns. In his seven year career, he has played in 89 games with 336 receptions for 4,267 yards and 31 touchdowns.
Solid twitter name Stevie by the way. John Trabolta is outstanding.

It’s a good move for a Chargers team in need of an upgrade at the position as well as for Johnson, who will finally play in a legitimate passing attack with a good quarterback. Congrats to him and to the Chargers and good luck in the coming season!
