Ravens OC Todd Monken shares what WR Diontae Johnson can add to offense

The Baltimore Ravens acquainted wide receiver Diontae Johnson from the Carolina Panthers just before Week 9. Baltimore gave up a fifth-round pick to acquire Johnson's services while also receiving a sixth-rounder back with him.

When asked about Johnson, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken shared the areas where he thinks the veteran can help the offense. He talked about Johnson's ability to separate and the talent that he displays.

"First of all, just seeing [Diontae Johnson] the first couple of days, I like what I see. I think he adds tremendous depth to us at receiver, [and] I think he gives us another guy who can separate. I think our tight ends can separate; I think our receivers can separate; I think we have other guys that can win. And I think it allows us to - again, you're just always trying to add talent, and I think we've added a talented player."

Johnson will slot in behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman in Baltimore's receiver pecking order. The team will be better with Johnson in the fold, and it's exciting to think about the full potential of the offense with him in it.
