Sorry Baltimore, the Steelers didn't want Diontae Johnson for good reason

Be careful what you wish for Ravens fans. While Steel City faithful will appreciate WR Diontae Johnson's efforts as an elite route runner for Pittsburgh from 2019 to 2023, Baltimore fans will be quick to remind why he was traded to Carolina in the first place.

Johnson struggled with routine catches early in his career and was more than to blame for the drama in the Steel City, which ranged from a lack of effort on multiple plays to heated arguments with Steelers players and coaches.

On a crucial play last season against the Cincinnati Bengals, RB Jaylen Warren fumbled the football, and Johnson seemingly missed the opportunity to recover it. His first answer left a lot to be desired: “I’m not perfect.”

Johnson was also involved in a heated locker room argument with FS Minkah Fitzpatrick after security took issue with Johnson's treatment of the coaches on the sidelines.

Johnson was recently traded from the Carolina Panthers to the Baltimore Ravens, and the former Steelers WR certainly circled his new team's Week 11 game against Pittsburgh.
