The Pittsburgh Steelers second week of 2019 OTA practices will come to a close on Thursday and while it’s incredibly hard to tell how the younger players are progressing in their development during the annual football in shorts sessions, at least it sounds like a few of them aren’t as overwhelmed as they may have been during the first few sessions. Rookie wide receiver Diontae Johnson, the teams’ first of two third-round draft picks this year, appears to be at least one young player starting to settle in nicely with the OTA process.
“Everything is starting to slow down for me a little bit,” Johnson said after a practice, according to Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
