Diontae Johnson's wish came true today after the struggling Carolina Panthers sent him to the Pittsburgh Steelers' biggest rival -- the Baltimore Ravens.

According to Dianna Russini of "The Athletic," Baltimore was just one of many teams interested in Johnson's services.

The Ravens only needed to surrender a fifth-round pick and will receive a 6th-round pick back from the Panthers, who also covers a portion of Johnson’s contract.
