- Mike Williams, 2024
- Diontae Johnson 2019-2023
- David Gilreath, 2012
- Walter Young, 2006
Best No. 18 in Steelers history: WR Diontae Johnson
No. 18 doesn't have a storied history like other numbers in our countdown to kickoff, but the best Steeler to ever wear it is wide receiver Diontae Johnson.
Johnson was selected by Pittsburgh with the 66th overall pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft and didn't waste time an impact. During his rookie season, Johnson earned Second-Team All-Pro recognition as a punt returner and would later be named to the Pro Bowl in 2021. During his five seasons in Pittsburgh, Johnson caught 391 passes for 4,363 yards, the ninth most by a Steeler all time, and 25 touchdowns.
Despite leaving the Steel City on bad terms, his performance as a Steeler leaves him deserving of being named the greatest to wear No. 18.
