The Pittsburgh Steelers appear set to have an embarrassment of riches in their receiver corps compared to a season ago, having WRs Diontae Johnson and George Pickens returning along with Allen Robinson II being added to the team this offseason as well as Calvin Austin III coming back from a season-ending injury in 2022. Pittsburgh drafted TE Darnell Washington this spring to add to a group that already consists of Pat Freiermuth, Connor Heyward, and Zach Gentry, giving QB Kenny Pickett plenty of weapons to pick apart opposing defenses.
Since 2020, Diontae Johnson has functioned as Pittsburgh’s WR1, accumulating 144, 169, and 147 targets in the last three seasons, respectively.
