Johnson being this solid this early is a good sign for Cal. He'll definitely force Garbers to up his game--and Chase seems to thrive in those conditions. And it gives Cal a capable starter in Musgrave's system that's ready for 2022.
That's a bit of a stretch to suggest that any receiver on the Cal team could be as good as Arcega-Whiteside. That guy was a once in a decade stud who carried Stanford on his back in a lot of games. Defenses could not stop him even when they were doubling him and keying on him. He had 14 touchdown catches his senior year. The all-time single season record for touchdowns at Cal, you ask? That was a guy named Sean Dawkins, who also had 14 in a season while playing with Russell White and Brian Treggs. What a team that was......
Getting back to Christakos.....it would be a ton of fun to see him show up early.
Hate to be a critic but in some of these videos I see serious problems. The Hunter ball was thrown behind him. The Tonges ball was under thrown. Neither of those performances will get us far in the Pac12! Listen to me...critiquing practice reps. I should go back into hibernation until Fall.
Seeing the video of Tonges' footwork reminds me of a video showcasing Bryce Treggs' footwork. I liked that kid... what's he up to now?

I think we will surprise some people with the receiving corps. If Christakos is anything like Arcillega-Whiteside he could be a true weapon.

Back shoulder passes are tough to defend. They are also tough to throw, few college QBs are good at it. Cal's 2 best at it are Rowell & ZJ.
Justin Baker and Mason Mangum are the sparkplugs in the second-year class. Nikko Remigio also can go down the seam if needed.
Christakos says himself that he needs to work on his speed, so that must not be his strength. Musgrave says Mangus may be the fastest on team.
