It’s funny how much different expectations can be from one year to the next. It wasn’t immediately obvious where or when JuJu Smith-Schuster a second-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, would fit into an offense that already included Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant, Sammie Coates, and Eli Rogers at wide receiver.
Then, primarily in the second half of his rookie season, he quickly established himself as the second-best option on the team behind Brown. And now a year later, he has raised the bar for what the Pittsburgh Steelers and their fans anticipate from a second-round wide receiver.
