While it might be a bit of a stretch to say that Diontae Johnson’s rookie season was ‘one to remember’, his first year with the Pittsburgh Steelers was certainly a good one. He led the team in receptions with 59 and receiving touchdowns with five, totaling 680 receiving yards, which ranked second only behind James Washington. Of course, that those numbers would approach team-highs speaks to the offense’s overall struggles as much as it does the quality of his rookie campaign, but I digress.
If there was one glaring issue with his first year, it was his ball security, as he fumbled five times, second-most among all non-quarterbacks in the league.
