Pittsburgh Steelers second-year receiver, Diontae Johnson is continuing to take the same path as a former Steelers wide out. But only the on-field side of him, anyway. Johnson posted on his Instagram this morning a video of himself stepping on the scales at a local gym. Watch:

As you can see in the video, Johnson is now up to 191.2 pounds; which is an 8-pound bump since he arrived in Pittsburgh a little over a year ago. Antonio Brown, who has nearly the same type of frame as Johnson, also changed his body and put on several pounds of muscle during his tenure in Pittsburgh. Brown once weighed in at 198, 12 pounds heavier than his listed weight as a rookie.
Johnson flashed his play-making ability during his rookie season and he will look to continue to build of of that in 2020.
