NFL: Steelers manager wants Diontae Johnson to be a part of Pittsburgh for many years

They have been 3 first seasons in the National Football League (NFL) quite productive for Diontae Johnson in the Pittsburgh Steelerswhich is why it has received the full support of the general manager, Omar Khan.

The conversations we have with Diontae and his representatives will remain between us. We don’t discuss that publicly, but we’ve been in talks. We love Diontae and are excited to have Diontae as a part of this team. We hope he will be a Steeler for a long time”, said Khan, in statements collected by NFL.com.

Johnson has been present at team practices but has sat out amid a deadlock in negotiations on a contract extension for the wide receiver.

Since arriving with the Steelers as the 66th pick in the third round of the 2019 DraftDiontae Johnson’s numbers have only been going up from his rookie season.

In the 2021 academic year, he had his best year as a professional on the gridirons, with 105 receptions, the fifth best figure among all receivers in the league, 1,161 receiving yards, which was the 10th best mark, as well as 8 receiving touchdowns.

With just 3 seasons played, the young talent has already added his first selection to the Pro Bowl in 2021, as well as a selection to the All Pro second team in 2019, so a contract extension looks more than deserved for Johnson.

I currently work as a web writer, specializing in NBA and NFL for Empresa EL DEBATE.

In the same way, I was present at various openings and closings of sporting events of the Company. My passion is basketball, so I am constantly researching burst sports, especially the NBA, and have created special works on relevant topics.
