Is Jessica Ingram the secret behind Diontae Johnson's success in the NFL?

Diontae Johnson is making waves in his career, with the consistent support of his wife. Previously a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he has now joined the Carolina Panthers. Nicknamed “Juice” for his energetic performances, he is ready to give his best with the Panthers. And, his wife, Jessica Ingram, is always by his side to boost his morale.

Jessica M. Ingram Johnson and Diontae Johnson tied the knot back in June 2013. They had first met while Diontae was at the Ohio State University. He had pledged with the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., eventually meeting Jessica. The first rendezvous was indeed memorable for the duo, as they shared an internal joke about an incident involving pepper spray.

Since then, Jessica has consistently supported both his football career and entrepreneurial ventures. Jessica and Diontae share four children together, i.e., Diontae J. Johnson Jr. (born in 2014), Aarin E. Johnson and Amari C. Johnson (both born in 2016), and Jamir M. Johnson (born in 2019).

Diontae Johnson has established himself as a talented receiver, playing an eventful season with the Steelers. Trading with the Panthers in March 2024, he looks forward to boosting the team’s passing game, while supporting quarterback Bryce Young.

Even with the Steelers, he had phenomenal records, which also includes a Pro Bowl selection in 2021. Moreover, that year, he also recorded his personal bests with 1,161 receiving yards, the highest of his career, besides 107 receptions, and eight touchdowns.

As per ESPN’s advanced analytics, since 2020, Johnson has performed phenomenally to create the most space of any receiver within the NFL domain. Being addressed as Juicer, a tag that has stuck to him professionally, he remarks, “I’m just like if you saying it. Imma just go ahead and run with it. So, it is what it is. But I like it though. I’m trying to stick with it.”
