Smith-Schuster Calls Diontae Johnson, Who Is Older, ‘A Young JuJu’

Even though he is almost two and a half seasons into his professional career already, JuJu Smith-Schuster is still the youngest wide receiver on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster at 22 years of age (soon to be 23). This is in spite of the fact that they have drafted multiple wide receivers in the two subsequent drafts since he was selected back in 2017.

The most recent wide receiver selection was Diontae Johnson, the MAC product out of Toledo. They used a third-round pick, the 66th overall, to draft him, just four spots lower than where he himself was selected, and six higher than the draft placement of James Washington a year ago.
