After the Pittsburgh Steelers traded away their second round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to move up and draft Devin Bush, many fans wondered when they would be taking a wide receiver. With two third round picks, one being from the Antonio Brown trade, the team spent their first on a little-known player from Toledo named Diontae Johnson.
While fans puzzled over the selection, wide receiver coach Darryl Drake gushed over the player the Steelers selected with their second pick in the draft process.
This is what Drake had to say at the introductory press conference after the selection was made:
We’re very excited about Diontae Johnson, not only is he a tremendous football player, but also a tremendous young man.
