Steelers battle for best wide receiver continues as Johnson impresses

Last year, there was a debate by the season’s end as to who was the best receiver in Pittsburgh. Obviously, Antonio Brown had a glowing pedigree of work for the Steelers, but JuJu Smith-Schuster‘s play elevated late in the season as Brown walked out on his team.

When Brown left the organization, there was no longer a contest as to who was the best wide receiver in Pittsburgh – it was JuJu by a landslide. Lately, however, that conversation is heating back up again.

After seeing JuJu with some extended action as the team’s number one wide-out (albeit with backup quarterbacks), he hasn’t impressed like most fans would have hoped.
