Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has officially apologized after displaying an alarming lack of effort during his team's recent game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
In his words, that play doesn't define who he is or how he plays the game.
"That's not me as a player," he said. "One play doesn't define me, never will. I didn't come up playing football like that, so obviously it looks bad on film. From here on out, just going forward, just be smart, keep playing 'til the whistle blows."
"My teammates, they know how I feel and how I should go about the situation," Johnson said. "Next time it occurs or whatever, I own up to it. I'm not perfect."
He also explained that he stood up in front of his teammates and took ownership of his actions.
"I feel like I did the right thing by standing up in front of the team and telling them, owning up to my mistake. All I can do is just move forward."
Johnson certainly did the right thing by holding himself accountable and apologizing,
