Diontae Johnson has made steady progress each season since first coming into the league out of Toledo in 2019, bettering his numbers year after year. Outside of his bout with the yips in terms of drops in the middle part of last season, he has grown in reliability, as well, solidifying himself as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ number one receiver.
Today, he recorded his first 1000-yard season of his career, surely the first of many, on the first play of the game, a 16-yard completion. He came into the game sitting at 990 receiving yards on 81 receptions, along with six touchdowns.
