Steelers’ Diontae Johnson, George Pickens named one of NFL’s most ‘underrated’ WR duos

The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering the 2023 season with a talented receiver duo in Diontae Johnson and George Pickens.

While Johnson has emerged as one of the league’s best wideouts, Pickens has the potential to make big strides in his second professional season.

That’s why Bleacher Report’s David Kenyon has listed Johnson and Pickens as one of the league’s five most underrated receiver pairings.

Diontae Johnson is the experienced option, one who’s averaged 85 receptions and 911.5 yards across four seasons. He didn’t score a touchdown last year, oddly enough, but is presumably due for positive regression after attracting 147 targets in 2022.
