After Diontae Johnson was traded, he was labeled a diva, but he feels that he is misunderstood.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson runs after a reception during an NFL game against the Seattle Seahawks on Dec. 31, 2023, at Luman Field in Seattle.Donte Jackson and other draft picks. Pittsburgh seemed done with Johnson and were not going to pay him after this year, so they traded him to fill another need at cornerback instead. The Steelers have loved Jackson since his days at LSU, but trading Johnson left a void that has still not been filled.
Johnson believes he is misunderstood. He came into Carolina once traded there by the Steelers and wanted to show to the team that he was a team-first player and net positive in their locker room as a veteran.. “It’s just, sometimes, players get misunderstood. I’m here to show that I’m a great player and I have a great attitude.”
For Johnson, the key will be controlling his emotions. From someone who talked to Johnson over the years, the problem is sometimes that he cares too much and can get in his own head, but Ias a diva. In fact, caring too much is a positive trait, and Johnson tried to step up as a leader whenever asked.
Johnson’s replacements, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, and Scotty Miller, are completely different from Johnson in their emotions. Yet, Johnson’s attitude is something that never seemed to waver. What did end up wavering from his ability to move on to the next play after something went wrong on the previous play. Either way, Johnson is set to be the top wide receiver target in Carolina for Bryce Young, and has a chance to establish himself right away.
