Steelers WR Diontae Johnson responds to rumor he punched Mitch Trubisky in face

Greg Giannotti of WFAN made a claim on the “Boomer and Gio” show that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson punched quarterback Mitch Trubisky in the face in Week 4 this past season. Johnson took to Twitter to deny the claim by simply posting two blue hat emojis (slang for “you’re lying”), prompting NFL reporter Dov Kleiman to delete a tweet referencing the allegation.

If we are being honest, no one would be shocked if this really happened given how out of sorts this team was at the start of the season. Also, Trubisky was benched at halftime in favor of Kenny Pickett in that Week 4 game, a 24-20 loss to the Jets.
