Former Steelers WR Diontae Johnson is becoming increasingly associated with unwanted distinctions. In addition to running backwards and not blocking, he has also earned a suspension for refusing to play. Before that, however, he earned the distinction of the most futile productive receiving season in NFL history.
In 2022, while still with the Steelers, Diontae Johnson caught 86 passes without scoring a single touchdown. It was the most receptions ever recorded in a season without a receiving touchdown (though he had two two-point conversion scores). Now the Cardinals’ Trey McBride is threatening that dubious feat.
In fact, McBride already has more receptions without a receiving touchdown than Johnson.
