Every so often a player steps on the field and immediately everyone watching can tell the player has ‘it’. The team officials in the press box can see ‘it’, the coaches on the sideline can see ‘it’, so can the players on the field and even the viewers at home can see ‘it’. What ‘it’ is cannot be described easily but it is essentially a player’s natural ability to excel despite circumstances such as age or experience.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have seen a few players with ‘it’ over the years, JuJu Smith-Schuster being one and Ryan Shazier being another that comes to mind.
