Ravens WR Rashod Bateman on Diontae Johnson settling in: ‘It’s been amazing’

The Baltimore Ravens’ wide receiver corps has stepped up to the plate in a big way during the 2024 season. Players such as Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman have performed well, while others have also had their moments.

Bateman was asked about the acquisition of a new wide receiver, Diontae Johnson, who hasn’t had much of an impact since coming over from the Carolina Panthers. However, Bateman sang Johnson’s praises, saying it’s been “amazing” having the veteran settle in and calling him a phenomenal football player.

“It’s been amazing. Diontae [Johnson] is a phenomenal football player; we’re glad to have him. He definitely gives us more weapons, [and we can] be more creative with our offense. [I’m] definitely excited to see what we do with him and do with this offense.”

Johnson will suit up for his third game in purple and black on Sunday against his other former team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. A revenge game could be incoming, as he certainly has all the tools to put his talents on full display in Baltimore if given the opportunity.
