JuJu Smith-Schuster will play a big role in Patriots’ offense

Fomer USC Trojan receiver JuJu Smith Schuster hauled in 172 catches, 2,348 yards and 15 touchdowns his first two NFL seasons before injuries started to take their toll.

When healthy, Smith-Schuster still was a productive player, but he appeared in only 33 of a possible 51 games between 2019 and 2021. This, in part, contributed to his departure from Pittsburgh in 2022; he went on to spend his sixth NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Between his stints in Pittsburgh and Kansas City, Smith-Schuster has appeared in a combined 85 regular season and playoff games, including a Super Bowl win with Kansas City last season.
