The Person Behind The Player: WR Diontae Johnson

The Pittsburgh Steelers were dealt a big loss this offseason with the trade of talented wide receiver Antonio Brown. On the second night of the NFL Draft, the Steelers took Toledo wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who resembled Brown in a lot of ways. In fact, the similarities are almost too similar.

Both receivers are from Florida and played in the MAC conference. Both receivers stand at 5’10 and weigh roughly 180 pounds. Their vertical jump was an identical 33.5” and their 40-yard dash times were a mere 0.03 seconds apart. Though Johnson may seem very identical to Brown, their similarities end there.
