There was no player who did more for the Pittsburgh Steelers over the final three games of the regular season then did wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, the sensational rookie second-round pick who took Steeler Nation by storm and very quickly won over a fan base that was skeptical of his drafting.
Over the course of the last three games of the season, the vast majority of which was played in the absence of first-team All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown, the 21-year-old caught 21 passes for 332 yards and two receiving touchdowns. He also contributed a 96-yard touchdown as a kick returner, the team’s first such return since Brown did it in 2010.
