The Steelers resigned Juju Smith-Schuster on Friday, allowing them to retain their receiving corps from last season. While the group struggled down the stretch with drops and production, the foursome of Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson and James Washington is one of the deeper units in the league. Their return, and the return of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, bodes well for the passing game in 2021.
The weak link of the Pittsburgh offense, however, is not the passing game. It’s the rushing attack, which ranked last in the league in total yards in 2020 and was near the bottom in yards per attempt and rushing efficiency.
