Diontae Johnson, on the surface, has the look of a player continuing to ascend, approaching the top tiers of the NFL receiver hierarchy. Rumors are he wants to be paid like it too. While I don’t put too much stock in offseason stories like this, it has led to an interesting discussion of how good Diontae Johnson really is.
Johnson was the Steelers first third round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and the first player I did a post-draft film room on. He stood out with his releases and physical route running that was impressive for his size.
