Ask Steelers’ fans and you’ll get a lot of excitement around Diontae Johnson heading into his sophomore year.
Ask the national media and you’ll get crickets.
Time and time again this offseason, Johnson has seemingly been the forgotten man in national media circles.
Earlier in June, FOX Sports tweeted out a poll of what second-year receiver would have the best season. Their options? DK Metcalf, AJ Brown, Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, and Hollywood Brown.
Guess who was missing? Diontae Johnson.
Pro Football Focus did the same yesterday. Similar question, same options.
Which is especially strange because few websites have been as high on Diontae Johnson as Pro Football Focus.
