Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver Diontae Johnson was accused of punching Mitch Trubisky earlier this season and that rumor was pushed again during Super Bowl week. But, the rumor was debunked. Still, it brings up another example about how situations are often exaggerated when it comes to narratives about "diva" players that aren't based in much fact, and it ties to players like JuJu Smith-Schuster, Najee Harris, and maybe soon George Pickens, who were unfairly treated because of that narrative. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions. But what does that mean for the Steelers? The Philadelphia Eagles were built a lot like how the Steelers want to look in the near future, and still lost. But there were key elements to the game that showed how the Steelers' strengths could still make them a contender if they make the right improvements in the NFL Draft.
