Ray-Ray McCloud Could See A Bigger Role In The Slot, Says JuJu Smith-Schuster

JuJu Smith-Schuster is adamant he’ll play more as an outside receiver this season. If so, the question becomes – who replaces him in the slot? Can’t move one guy without moving someone else. Smith-Schuster isn’t quite sure who that guy will be but believes Ray-Ray McCloud could see an expanded role as the team’s slot receiver this season.

He spoke to reporters Thursday about McCloud’s abilities.
