Diontae Johnson’s 2022 season for the Pittsburgh Steelers was a rather difficult one. It’s well-known at this point that he set a futile NFL record, putting up 85+ receptions without scoring a touchdown last season.
Along with the inability to find the end zone last season, Johnson struggled with drops once again and was a bit of a mess after the catch, getting caught running backwards a handful of times while pressing make that splash play. Johnson’s struggles, coupled with the emergence of George Pickens as a potential true No. 1 option moving forward has the veteran receiver seemingly being overlooked entering the 2023 season.
