When the Los Angeles Chargers announced they would select Quentin Johnston with the No. 21 overall pick of the 2023 NBA draft, the former TCU wide receiver stood up and made a promise to his mother.

"I just want to give a big shout-out to my mom," he said. "She's going to be putting her two weeks' notice in today. She can retire. I don't want you working another day."

Thursday was Sherry Johnston's last day as a secretary at the VA Hospital in Temple, Texas, ESPN's Lindsey Thiry reported.
