He's not a pass rusher but he can play.

It seems like DJ Johnson is more of a base 4-3 DE

Best of the defense 1. CB Chau Smith-Wade: 89.7 2. OLB DJ Johnson: 78.6 3. OLB Amaré Barno: 74.7 4. CB Jaycee Horn: 69.0 5. S Xavier Woods: 66.1 Smith-Wade notched the first interception of his NFL career. He also earned a career-best mark in coverage (90.6), where he allowed a 34.7 passer rating. Johnson played to a team-high 79.9 grade against the run. He tallied three stops. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/lists/panthers-buccaneers-week-13-pff-grades/

Worst of the defense 13. DL Jonathan Harris: 51.4 14. DL LaBryan Ray: 48.6 15. CB Mike Jackson: 45.2 16. OLB D.J. Wonnum: 43.7 17. ILB Josey Jewell: 40.3 Jewell, Wonnum and Jackson were each saddled with two missed tackles apiece.

Worst of the offense 14. WR Deven Thompkins: 54.6 15. TE Stephen Sullivan: 53.6 16. TE Feleipe Franks: 51.4 17. WR David Moore: 49.7 18. RB Chuba Hubbard: 47.6 Hubbard’s fumble at Tampa Bay’s 30-yard line in overtime helped serve the Bucs a win. He rushed for just 43 yards, his fewest since Week 1. Moore, after a standout performance in Week 12, was charged with a pair of drops.

Best of the offense 1. LG Damien Lewis: 90.0 2. QB Bryce Young: 79.2 3. WR Adam Thielen: 72.5 4. LT Ikem Ekwonu: 71.6 5. RB Jonathon Brooks: 69.5 Lewis’ 90.0 overall offensive grade is his highest as a Panther, as were his marks in pass blocking (86.5) and run blocking (91.9). He allowed zero pressures in 50 pass-blocking opportunities. Young’s 79.2 was his third-highest overall offensive grade in a start. He recorded a season-high 298 passing yards, one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said “I’m going to have to wait” when asked about Diontae Johnson’s availability following Week 13’s loss to the Eagles. This comes a day after Harbaugh declined to comment on Johnson’s availability immediately after the loss when he said, “I’m not really ready to comment on that right now. I will be, but I don’t have enough information right now.” Whatever “information” Harbaugh needs is a mystery to most, but maybe he’ll gather that intel during the team’s Week 14 bye. Since being acquired by the Ravens’ at the trade deadline, Johnson has run 19 routes while playing on 39 offensive snaps. Johnson didn’t see the field in Sunday’s loss despite Rashod Bateman exiting early with a knee injury. Bateman’s injury isn’t believed to be long-term, but it will be interesting to see if Johnson sees an increase in playing time should Bateman miss a game or two

I’d be happy with that - as long as Bryce continues to play well that’s all that matters

Good

Trade his ass

Diontae Johnson failed to catch his only target in the Ravens’ Week 12 win over the Chargers. Johnson continues to be buried on the depth chart behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, with the team not even giving him usable snaps on a weekly basis due to their emphasis on heavy personnel groupings. His usage in Baltimore is quite the head-scratcher considering the team trading for his services before the trade deadline this year.

Wonnum has been exceptional
