Summary

NFL analyst and football writer Chris Carter goes over the latest comments of Steelers' wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who not only addressed his injury recovery but that of Ben Roethlisberger. Here why Johnson's testimony is another that should pump you up about Ben's return. Then Chris dives into an evaluation of Vince Williams and how unsung of a hero he is of the defense. The inside linebacker is among the most senior in a defense that looks to be elite in 2020, and that shouldn't be overlooked. Finally, Chris addresses the opt-out deadline that's reportedly today at 4:00PM. The Steelers look like they might not have a single player opt-out of the season, and he sees that as a sign of resolve and belief from the team as a whole that 2020 is their year.
