JuJu On Rookie Year: It Was Like ‘Running Around With My Head Chopped Off’

The decision to draft a wide receiver in the second round last year was a head scratcher, at least until JuJu Smith-Schuster started contributing on a weekly basis for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played so well that he earned a full-time starting job by the end of his rookie season, and has taken his game to another level to start his sophomore year.

Right now, he is in the top five in receiving yardage, having gone for over 110 yards in every game so far, and he has 27 receptions with one touchdown. While Antonio Brown does have two touchdowns, Smith-Schuster has outperformed him in every other category and in many ways has become the focal point of the offense.
