NY Daily News Writer Sees Diontae Johnson As ‘Steelers’ Next Great Receiver’

The Pittsburgh Steelers have great talent on defense, and that should lend itself to having at least a competent, quality unit in 2020. But they know that they can’t rely on the defense only, and will need the offense to show much more life than that group was able to exhibit last year while ravaged by injuries.

One of the lone bright spots was Diontae Johnson, the rookie wide receiver out of Toledo, who recorded 59 receptions for 680 yards and five touchdowns in spite of the fact that he caught passes almost exclusively from backups, including their number four quarterback during the preseason, Devlin Hodges.
