Gil Brandt believes JuJu Smith-Schuster’s career arc will go in one or two ways. Either really good. Or really underwhelming. Smith-Schuster was part of Brandt’s ten free agent “boom or bust” players.
Here’s what he wrote for each scenario:
“The boom scenario: Smith-Schuster — who is still just 24 — makes everyone forget about his underwhelming last two seasons with the Steelers, looking more like the player who became the youngest in NFL history to hit the 2,500-yard receiving mark early in ’19.”
Calling Smith-Schuster underwhelming in the 2019 season was fair.
