Antonio Brown was a target machine. When he ran his way out of town, all those targets had to go somewhere. They’ve gone to Diontae Johnson, who has come close to matching AB’s rate of passes thrown his way. Let’s put the numbers to it.
In his first three years in the league, Johnson has 405 total targets. 92 his rookie season, one played with Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges, by the way, 144 in 2020, and 169 in 2021. League-wide, that’s one of the top numbers in the league. Here’s how it ranks.
