Panthers HC Sounds Like He Has Big Plans For Former Steelers WR Diontae Johnson

When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for CB Donte Jackson, they gave up more than they got, trading WR Diontae Johnson. A former Pro Bowler, Johnson is set up to be the featured target for the Carolina Panthers offense. They knew that when they traded for him—parting with a cornerback they were going to release.

But the Steelers got what they wanted and the Panthers got what they wanted. Carolina head coach Dave Canales certainly sounds like he has some plans for Diontae Johnson. He talked about the former Steeler addressing reporters yesterday, saying they were learning the “special mover”.
