After 3 WR Coaches In 3 Years, JuJu Smith-Schuster Surely Hoping Ike Hilliard Provides Stability

Through his first three seasons in the NFL, JuJu Smith-Schuster has been targeted by four different quarterbacks in meaningful games. He has already worked with three different position coaches, and two different offensive coordinators. That’s a lot of instability for a 23-year-old.

As he enters the final year of his rookie contract, the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver will be working with his fourth different position coach, with the team announcing the hiring of Ike Hilliard to coach the wide receivers, coming over from Washington after several years there. A former first-round pick, he had some success with the New York Giants himself as a wide receiver.
