Steelers Rookie WR Diontae Johnson Hints He’ll Wear No. 18

While far from official at this point, it certainly appears as though new Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson, the team’s first of two third-round selections in the 2019 NFL Draft, will wear No. 18.

Johnson, who wore No. 3 in college at Toledo, seemingly announced that he’ll initially wear No. 18 with the Steelers on his Instagram account on Friday.

No. 18 hasn’t been an overly popular number with the Steelers over the years and during the super Bowl era mostly backup quarterbacks have donned the high-teens number.
