While the Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to officially announce the jersey numbers their new draft class will wear in 2019, it would appear that we might have an idea of the digits that Diontae Johnson has in mind this season.
The young rookie wide receiver posted a new picture of himself in a Steelers uniform on Friday wearing number 18, a jersey that would be available to him based on the team’s current allocations to their veteran players.
Fitting nicely between Eli Rogers (17) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (19), he would be part of a receiver group that does not feature any wideout with a number in the 80’s this year if he goes with 18, joining Donte Moncrief (11) and Ryan Switzer (10) and James Washington (13) in that regard.
