Steelers WR Diontae Johnson Confirms Steelers Locker Room Incident with Mitch Trubisky Actually Happened

Mitchell Trubisky and one of his Wideouts reportedly got into a little beef.

Diontae Johnson has confirmed a report that he got into a heated argument with Mitch Trubisky. The former second overall pick was benched against the Jets, and the reported reason why was due to a locker room argument with Johnson at halftime. Now, the receiver has confirmed that it did happen, but there’s “no bad blood” between him and Mitch Trubisky.

“I don’t want to get too much into detail. We both passionate about the game. Stuff happens during football. We fine. We talked about it. We made up over the whole situation. No hard feelings towards each other. That’s still my guy at the end of the day. I’m going to still keep playing for him, cheering for him … No bad blood between us at all,” Johnson told the press Wednesday.

Since getting benched at halftime against the Jets, Steelers rooke Kenny Pickett appears to have taken over his job permanently.  The only time Trubisky has returned to the field was after Pickett got hurt against the Buccaneers, and he played like he had a fire under his ass.   The former Bears starter led the Steelers to the win, and finished with 144 passing yards and a touchdown.

Feels like Mitch Trubisky is more suited as a solid backup than a bonafide starter.
