- LeVeon Bell’s season-long holdout
- Devonta Freeman (trade acquisition from Kansas City for Bell) was injured almost all year
- A.J. Green's toe injury, which led to the trade for Josh Gordon
- Gordon had a relapse just two weeks afterwards; and
- Todd Gurley’s knee acting up at the worst possible time (he had his worst performance of the season in the Week 14 playoff loss to Detroit).
So this is the Ground Hogs' first pick of this year's Draft. Diontae Johnson is a good pick considering the Steelers' recent track record with drafting wide receivers (the last bad one I can think of: Limas Sweed, 2008) and where he stood in various rookie rankings. Zierlein compares him to another former Steelers WR, Emmanuel Sanders.
