‘Amps Things Up A Lot:’ Joey Porter Jr. Says Diontae Johnson Trade Makes Steelers Vs. Ravens More Intense

One of the biggest headlines this week throughout the NFL was WR Diontae Johnson’s trade to the Baltimore Ravens. Not only is Baltimore getting a good receiver to help out two-time MVP QB Lamar Jackson, but they are also getting a player who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers last year.

Johnson was a polarizing player for the Steelers fanbase, but his attitude soured the locker room towards the end of his time in Pittsburgh. In the offseason, Pittsburgh shipped him to the Carolina Panthers for CB Donte Jackson and a pick swap.

The Steelers know Diontae Johnson, and he knows the Steelers, making Week 11 and 16’s Steelers-Ravens matchups even more intense.
