Mike Tomlin Approaching Diontae Johnson Hold-In As Opportunity For Young Receivers

While Diontae Johnson isn’t a full participant in drills during training camp, the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t looking at it with a sense of worry. During his press conference after practice today, Head Coach Mike Tomlin said in his press conference today that he’s taking the perspective that it helps the younger receivers get increased reps.

“I’ve just learned over the course of time to look at it from the perspective of those that get increased rep opportunities. And boy, we got some young guys at that position that, you know, gonna take advantage of some of those opportunities and hopefully for the good,” Tomlin said.
