The Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday voted on who their Most Valuable Player of the year would be, and second-year wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was picked for the honor by his teammates. Many in the local and even some in the national media chose to make a stink about how quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was overlooked for the award.
Smith-Schuster, however, was a right choice for the honor. And I say that with careful wording. He was a right choice, because there was no one clear choice this season. Smith-Schuster, both statistically and in terms of the timeliness of his performances, was certainly deserving.
