Diontae Johnson's career has taken an unexpected downturn after his promising start with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Once a favorite target of Ben Roethlisberger, Johnson recorded impressive numbers early on, including 107 receptions in his third year. However, following Roethlisberger's retirement, Johnson's stats plummeted, resulting in zero touchdowns in 2022 and only 51 catches in 2023.

His subsequent move to the Carolina Panthers was marred by team turmoil, ultimately leading to a trade to the Baltimore Ravens, where he saw minimal action, catching just one pass. A brief stint with the Houston Texans followed, but Johnson's performance remained disappointing. Now with the Cleveland Browns on a veteran minimum contract, Johnson is focused on turning his career around and rebuilding his reputation.
