Diontae Johnson: ‘I’m Way Faster Than What I Ran’, Didn’t Train For 40

When the Pittsburgh Steelers lost a major asset this offseason after trading Antonio Brown to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for additional third- and fifth-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, they worked to replace him by signing Donte Moncrief in free agency and using that third-round pick to select a player that bears a lot of similarities to Brown coming out of college in Diontae Johnson.

Similar size, MAC player, similar separation ability, another returner candidate. Most will view him as a reach, and that he probably could have been had tomorrow, or at least with the second third-round pick.
