I’m not sure if this can really be considered a ‘breakout’ season, but Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is certainly having the best year of his young career so far, both in terms of numbers and in his role. He is now established as the number one receiver, and the go-to target for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and has had pretty consistent production, as well.
Pro Football Focus recently argued that he is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, beyond the fact that he has 81 receptions for 990 yards and six touchdowns on the year.
