Diontae Johnson Addresses Quitting On Play During Game, ‘I’m Not Perfect’

Diontae Johnson is proudly owning as much as his lack of effort in the midst of the Steelers’ matchup towards the Cincinnati Bengals … saying he addressed the scenario along with his teammates and vowed to do higher shifting ahead.

The 27-year-old extensive receiver confronted a ton of backlash for seemingly giving up in the midst of a play throughout Pittsburgh’s 16-10 win on Sunday … with recreation footage displaying him showing bored with going for the ball after Jaylen Warren fumbled within the first quarter.

Johnson spoke with reporters concerning the now-viral lowlight on Wednesday … and he is seeking to get previous the entire ordeal.

“I addressed the situation with my teammates,” Johnson advised the media. “They know how I feel and how I feel about the situation. I’m not perfect. All I can do is move forward and just keep playing football.”

Johnson — who was pissed he tousled on a possible landing catch on the earlier play — defined he doesn’t need to be judged based mostly on one second … and he promised to show it along with his play from right here on out.
