Fichtner Calls JuJu Smith-Schuster Inside-Outside Versatility ‘A Luxury’

With Justin Hunter now on injured reserve and Darrius Heyward-Bey scarcely more than an emergency option in the event of an injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers have an interesting makeup at the wide receiver position right now in terms who which bodies that they have available to them for either the inside or outside roles.

The nucleus of this discussion is second-year wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who has by this point in his career spent a lot of time playing both inside and outside. He started in the slot a year ago but played more outside as the year went on, and that same theme has continued this year.
