Diontae Johnson

The Steelers spoke very highly of Diontae Johnson upon being drafted. Pittsburgh wouldn’t have used the 66th overall pick if they didn’t have big plans in store for him. Much like JuJu, I think Johnson could be used all over the field.

His best traits include his ability to beat press, sell his routes, and his fluent change of direction. Johnson is not a burner by any means, but has a good route tree and knows how to set up his defender. X, Z, or slot, Johnson should be able to provide a little bit of everything for the Steelers. Johnson also has great upside as a kick and punt returner.
