As a young player entering the NFL, obviously a top goal should be to be a sponge and soak up as much knowledge and information from veteran players as possible, be it in regards to the playbook or how to take care of your body, etc. For rookie wide receiver Cavin Austin III out of the University of Memphis, he has a Pro Bowl player atop the depth chart in Diontae Johnson, who’s fresh off his first 1,000-yard season, in which he can learn from. It’s worth noting that Johnson actually just reported to OTA’s today, as he’s seeking a multi-year extension from the team that places him among the highest-paid in the league.
