‘Sad To See Diontae Go:’ Heyward Knows Steelers Have Big Task Replacing Diontae Johnson

When the entire Pittsburgh Steelers roster gets together for OTAs, Cam Heyward will see plenty of new faces. The organization had a busy offseason bringing in new players, along with draft picks starting tonight, but also shipping out old ones. Offensively, the team traded away two starters. QB Kenny Pickett, once hoped to be the team’s franchise arm, and WR Diontae Johnson. Johnson was sent to the Carolina Panthers for CB Donte Jackson and pick swaps, creating a need at wide receiver the team’s yet to fill. On the latest episode of his Not Just Football podcast, Cam Heyward addressed the move.
