Drops And All, Steelers WR Diontae Johnson Says He Saw Progress In 2020

Overall, the 2020 season was one that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson would like to forget and move on from quickly. While he did catch 88 passes for 923 yards and seven touchdowns in his second NFL season, Johnson also led the NFL in drops as well. Recently, Johnson talked to Teresa Varley about his 2020 season and what all he’s looking forward to now in 2021.

“I saw progress in all aspects of my game,” said Johnson, per Varley. “In my route running, knowing the game more, route coverages. Everything. Just by you knowing the coverage of the defense it lets you know what moves you need to make, what release you need to take, how much depth you need to get in your route.
