Fourth-year Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson made headlines after Sunday’s game more for what he said afterward than for what he did during it, although he came awfully close to a highlight-reel touchdown.
Officially, his stat line for the game says two receptions on four targets for 11 yards, with one target resulting in an interception that went off his hands. Not a great afternoon, but he certainly could have been used more. Yet what he said about the team after the game drew more attention, saying that they were in a “rebuilding year”.
