Paul Zeise Live: Steelers getting last laugh as Diontae Johnson's Ravens tenure looks troubled?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5:00 p.m. EST.

How should the Steelers be feeling about the guys who've replaced Johnson behind George Pickens, including Calvin Austin III and Van Jefferson?
