One of the players about whom fans are the most optimistic heading into 2020 is Diontae Johnson. A third-round pick out of the MAC last year, he came in despite dealing with injuries throughout the offseason and produced when he wasn’t supposed to—and with vastly inferior quarterback play.
By season’s end, he was the only wide receiver on the team to play in all 16 games, leading the team in receptions with 59 and receiving touchdowns with five. His 680 receiving yards were also the second-most on the team—and, it should be noted, the ninth-most yards by a rookie in team history.
