Diontae Johnson is second in the NFL with drops over the past 5 years (33).

He had 2 drops last season and one was a TD catch that the refs scammed. Anyone can call anything they want a drop, doesn’t make it true. He also had another season with the lowest drop rate in the NFL among receivers. 2 out of 5 seasons with the lowest drop rate

@@xConceptz1 Funny, against the Jaguars I was sitting no more than 40 yards from where DJ dropped 2 passes that hit him right in both hands, uncontested, that never registered as drops. I think the NFL statistician got into an argument with DJ last year and he was fired, as the dude had at least 8 this year.

Bro. You must be young. I am so offended you just said DJ could be the next AB. Ab was FEARLESS!! Ab loved football and worked harder than anyone. He didn’t run backwards to avoid contact, not fall on fumbles or block for his teammates. Ab LOVED football and would put his neck on the line to win. DJ has NONE of these qualities while also not even being half the player AB was. Please go watch Ab so you can see. Ab is the reason I can’t stand Dj because I was spoiled watching a HOF.

Damn I actually saw him run backwards and not lose yards once last season. He was actually a good route runner but there were some bad times and he had not earned any right to be a prima donna. The Steelers would have gotten more for him if other teams thought he was a valuable addition.
@mc19934 ай бұрын
Steelers should have traded him once he made the pro bowl and signed a 'cap friendly' contract. That is when he had real trade value, but instead we held him and his 147 targets, 86 receptions, 0 TDs, and then his notorious ignoring a Warren fumble could only get us a 6th round pick.

Of where the Panthers draft order is it's a great trade considering not only the lack of production from DJ, but the penalties for taunting and especially for not finishing plays. You also have to consider the fact that he's always "injured" whenever he's not getting the ball thrown his way. And I understand his frustrations because KP8 is trash, but he'd drop passes that were webbed in the basket.
