Every year, it seems, we read positive, if not glowing reports of Pittsburgh Steelers fullback/tight end Will Johnson, particularly as it pertains to his ability to escape coverage from linebackers and catch the ball as a receiving threat. And yet once the season rolls around, it never much materializes, and we always think “maybe next year”.
Maybe he will be more involved in the offense in 2015. But I’m leaning toward the negative side of that equation for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which being that he really isn’t needed in the passing game.
