If you were watching the broadcast of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and scanned the reaction shots after Diontae Johnson scored early in the game on an 85-yard punt return, you might have noticed that there was hardly anyone happier about it than quarterback Devlin Hodges.
And not just because it helped give him a 10-0 lead to work with (following a prior opening-drive field goal) without even having to take the field. As he explained while discussing his fellow rookie to reporters yesterday, whatever Johnson does on special teams, the opposing defense sees as well.
