Report: Steelers sign WR Johnny Holton

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly signing former Oakland Raiders wide receiver Johnny Holton. NFL reporter Mike Garofolo is reporting the Steelers are adding the speedy wide receiver after being waived most recently by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Highlights on Holton are few and far between. He had no catches in 2018 but in fairness it appeared the Raiders were trying to move him to cornerback. Holton only caught nine passes in 2018 but three of them were for touchdowns.

It’s unclear what the Steelers are planning for Holton but with his size and speed, he’s a risk worth taking. In his few highlights, his speed is evident. It remains to be seen if he can make a dent in a very crowded wide receiver group.
