The Pittsburgh Steelers are going through quarterback flux this season, as neither Mitch Trubisky nor first-round pick Kenny Pickett have stuck. 

Wide receiver Diontae Johnson is one of those that has been affected by the inconsistency at the position, but he did give his preferred quarterback for this week against the Carolina Panthers. 

Third-stringer Mason Rudolph.

"Yeah, I want to see (Rudolph) play," Johnson said, per 93.7 The Fan. "I know he’s ready to play. I know it’s probably in the back of his mind like, ‘Dang, when am I going to get my chance?’ I feel like this week is it for him. I know he’s going to do everything it takes to prepare this week and get ready for Sunday."

Johnson’s preference didn’t go over well with Steelers fans, who didn’t like that he actually revealed his choice at quarterback.

Pickett started last week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, which resulted in a 16-14 loss. However, after just one pass attempt, Trubisky had to come in after the rookie got hurt.
