Harmon: Diontae Johnson ‘Just As Promising As A Developing No. 1’ As A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf

A case could very easily be made that Diontae Johnson is the most skilled wide receiver on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster, no matter his faults. Matt Harmon and James Koh over at Reception Perception argue that he is actually one of the best young wide receivers in the league—and that his drops unfairly bias people against him.

“I feel like the slander on Diontae Johnson has gone way too far”, Koh said, after Johnson led the NFL in drops last season with 14, and ranked among the highest in drop percentage, though there are other very notable names up there with him.
