2024 Stock Watch – WR Diontae Johnson – Stock Sold

Player: WR Diontae Johnson

Stock Value: Sold

Reasoning: Officially officially, Diontae Johnson is now former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver. The Steelers just traded him to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for CB Donte Jackson and a late-round swap. He closes his five-year tenure with the team as one of the most polarizing players in recent years.

The Steelers never expected Diontae Johnson to be the next Antonio Brown, but they respected the similarities. After Brown forced his way off the team in 2019, they used one of the draft picks they got in return to draft Johnson, one of the elite route runners in the game.
