Ex-Steelers star already looking like a dud for divisional rival

The Pittsburgh Steelers made the tough decision last year to trade away starting receiver Diontae Johnson in exchange for Donte Jackson. The move depleted the receiver room, leaving Pittsburgh without a capable second option. It’s a hole that has yet to be properly filled.

In hindsight, Pittsburgh appears to be a massive winner, considering how far Johnson has fallen since leaving the team.

Johnson's time in Carolina was short-lived. While productive, the team was a seller at the trade deadline and shipped him off to the Ravens. There, he imploded and was eventually cut by Baltimore due to his poor attitude.
