The Pro Football Writers Association of America announced their rookie awards for the 2019 NFL season. The Pittsburgh Steelers landed one player on the list but maybe not the one your think. Wide receiver Diontae Johnson was one of the best rookie wide outs all season and even earned an All-Pro as a punt returner but didn’t make the All-Rookie team at all.
Instead, it was linebacker Devin Bush who made it after leading the Steelers with 109 total tackles.
Here is the full All-Rookie team.
