Diontae Johnson went from playing for one of the NFL’s worst offenses to being part of one of the league’s best. Tuesday’s trade that sent him from the Carolina Panthers to the Baltimore Ravens is a rags-to-riches type moment, now on an AFC contending team looking to make a Super Bowl run. It also puts him back in the AFC after a seven-month vacation, with two games against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the schedule.
That thought isn’t lost on Johnson, who spoke with reporters Wednesday.
“I’m looking forward to that game, man,” Johnson said with a wide smile via the Ravens’ Twitter/X account.
