Steelers should pump the brakes on a contract extension for JuJu Smith-Schuster

JuJu Smith-Schuster’s rise to fame was almost immediate upon his arrival in the NFL. During his rookie season in 2017, the former second-round pick impressed with 7 touchdowns and 917 receiving yards in 7 starts – supplanting Martavis Bryant as the Steelers number two receiving option.

In 2018, JuJu was thrown into the discussion of the best young receivers in the league. He caught everyone’s attention with his 111 catches, 1,426 yards, and 7 touchdowns. The 22-year old receiver was voted Steelers MVP last year and was quickly on his way to being one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the league.
