In hindsight, it certainly appears to be a good thing that the Pittsburgh Steelers made the decision, which many seemed to believe as a mere afterthought, to bring back tight end David Johnson, whom they originally drafted in 2009, and who played in Pittsburgh until 2013 before spending two seasons in San Diego.
As of this moment, he is the team’s best blocker, but really, it is his versatility that is his greatest asset, and the weight loss over the course of the offseason also seems to be serving him well, as he did a little of everything on Sunday, including catching his first pass of the season on 26 snaps.
