on their big win today over the Steelers. When the Browns needed to keep possession of the ball, with about a 1:12 left in the game, it was Hunt along with another blocker, that provided the key blocks as Baker Mayfield ran around the defensive end to get the first down. Great call by the Brown's as the Steelers figure Mayfield wasn't going to keep the ball in that situation.

Noticed Johnson getting a little cocky out on the field after a big reception and first down for Pittsburg. Don't recall him doing that at Toledo. Never liked that crap, I'm more along the lines of watching how Barry Sanders acted - no big deal, here's the ball Mr. Referee, and I'm going to jog off the field from the end zone knowing I will be here again in a few more minutes.

Diontae has been battling some personal demons this season as the Steelers faithful can be pretty harsh when it comes to their team and players. His drops equated to a lot of constant backlash. He was probably feeling more liberated than cocky after those great catches. He's fun to watch.

Great to see any former UT football players excel in the NFL. Hunt, Johnson, and Kern come to mind.

Could be. Had a pretty solid season with 88 catches for 923 yards. Did hear the announcers talking about him having a lot of drops and fans booing him. Had 144 targets on the year for the 88 catches. Lead the team in receiving yards and 2nd to Smith-Schuster in catches and catch % (excluding tight end). Smith-Schuster was drafted 2 years ahead of Johnson, although Johnson is older by a few months.
