Newly Signed Johnny Holton Could Fill Heyward-Bey’s Role For Steelers

Earlier this week the Pittsburgh Steelers announced that they had signed wide receiver Johnny Holton after he was waived by the Philedelphia Eagles the week prior. Holton is not a massive free agent acquisition; he is nowhere close to that. He is coming off a season in which he played in just one game and his best statistical season came in 2017 when he recorded nine receptions for 218 yards and three touchdowns. The wide receiver’s signing should barely move the needle when it comes to the Steelers’ 2019 offseason but perhaps there is more to the signing than meets the eye.
