Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson feels his future Hall of Fame quarterback deserves to be in the MVP conversation this season. Johnson expresses how much he trust his quarterback and loves playing with Roethlisberger.

Despite putting together a career that’s guaranteed to earn him eternal enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Roethlisberger has never even received one MVP vote throughout his career. While that’s more due to the era he’s played in with legends like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning hugging most of the MVP’s, he’s making a case to change that this season.
