Diontae Johnson Surprisingly Doesn’t Make PFF’s Top 32 WR Rankings

One of the top receivers in the NFL since joining the Pittsburgh Steelers as a third-round draft pick in 2019, Diontae Johnson has quickly and quietly thrust himself into legitimate WR1-caliber discussions.

With 254 receptions on 405 targets for 2,764 yards and 20 touchdowns through three seasons with an average of 58.8 yards per game with a catch percentage of 62.7%, Johnson finds himself right up there at the top of the list in production with the likes of the Rams’ Cooper Kupp, Las Vegas’s Davante Adams, Seattle’s Tyler Lockett, Buffalo’s Stefan Diggs and more.

Despite seeing the production Johnson has put up in his first three years in the NFL, Pro Football Focus’s Anthony Treash didn’t place Johnson inside his top 32 in his latest wide receiver rankings.
