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.
