The Pittsburgh Steelers traded WR Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers this offseason in exchange for CB Donte Jackson. The move created a hole for the Steelers, but it gave the Panthers a potential No. 1 wide receiver. It appears that the coaching staff have told Johnson as much.
Johnson addressed the Carolina media on Tuesday and spoke about what his role in the offense will be, according to Sheena Quick, Panthers beat writer for Fox Sports Radio 1340 AM.
“Dave [Canales] told me that as soon as I got here,” Johnson said via the Panthers’ YouTube channel.
