LATROBE, Pa. -- Diontae Johnson didn't hesitate, didn't mince words.
"The biggest difference," he was telling me the other day, "is that we're sticking by what we believe is the best play. The first read can be the best read."
This was part of a long talk he and I had. Our best in a good while. And not surprisingly, given his rather direct personality, it led to what might've been my most eye-opening information of the Steelers' training camp that concluded yesterday at Saint Vincent College: Kenny Pickett's sticking by his primary reads with precisely the confidence one would expect of an NFL starting quarterback.
