Former Pittsburgh Steelers WR I just can't catch a break! From frustrations in Pittsburgh to dissatisfaction in Carolina to disappointment in Baltimore, Johnson's negativity seems to follow him wherever he goes.
His recent meltdown on social media was apparently due to the Ravens using him sparingly for two weeks in a row.
As already reported, took a subtle dig at the former Steelers receiver and grinned as he told reporters that he was more concerned with key players actually getting playing time.
Tomlin ended up having to deal with quite a lot during the receiver's time in Pittsburgh, including his difficulty making routine catches on the field, lack of effort on running plays and his inconsistent attitude both on and off the field.
It's no secret that bad blood is brewing as the team heads into Week 11 . Steel City fans took the opportunity to rain down their boos on Johnson early on, starting on social media. Here are some of the best reactions to Tomlin's comments about Johnson.
Mike Tomlin calling Diontae Johnson unimportant only intensifies this rivalry. Sunday is before a movie.

Does it count as a Diontae Johnson revenge game if Mike Tomlin doesn't even remember who he is?

I'm not worried about Diontae Johnson and neither is HC Mike Tomlin…
