In Defense Of David Johnson

We relayed a report yesterday from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that the Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in bringing back veteran tight end/h-back David Johnson. The eight-year veteran has spent six of those seasons with Pittsburgh—the first five and the most recent—as well as two seasons with the Chargers.

Following Heath Miller’s retirement and the realization that injuries would end Matt Spaeth’s career, the Steelers decided to bring back Johnson, signing him in the middle of May after the draft to a one-year, veteran-minimum qualifying contract with no signing bonus.
