Smith-Schuster’s Rookie Season Puts Him In Some Good Company

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster certainly took the NFL by storm during his rookie season as the team’s second-round draft pick out of USC registered 58 receptions for 917 yards and 7 touchdowns in the 14 regular season games that he played in. So, just how good was Smith-Schuster’s rookie season, comparatively speaking? Well, Evan Silva‏ of Rotoworld has an interesting set of stats to give it some sort of perspective.

Since 1990, only 8 Rookie WRs have averaged > 15 yards/catch & cleared 900 receiving yards. pic.
