Individually, star potential is there for Pittsburgh Steelers fifth-year wide receiver Diontae Johnson and second-year wide receiver George Pickens. Collectively though, that potential is through the roof.
Yet, ahead of the 2023 season, the duo is seemingly overlooked overall, likely because of the offense that they play in under third-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Last season, the Steelers averaged just 18.1 points per game and lacked explosiveness.
This year feels different overall coming out of training camp and the preseason, but Johnson and Pickens as a duo still seem overlooked.
