The Steelers’ wide receiver room has only gotten stronger heading into 2023. George Pickens is entering his second year in the league, while the Steelers added an established veteran in Allen Robinson II. Despite this, the WR1 job remains Diontae Johnson’s job to lose.
Although the Steelers’ offense has seen a fair bit of change over the past few seasons, Johnson’s presence has been consistent. He’s recorded the most receptions on the team in three of the past four seasons and finished second to JuJu Smith-Schuster in 2020. Coming out of Toledo, Johnson wasn’t the most notable prospect, and it resulted in the Steelers being able to snag him in the third round in 2019.
