JuJu Smith-Schuster embraces being a leader, believes ‘chemistry is on point’

If the Pittsburgh Steelers are to successfully adjust to life without Antonio Brown, the efforts of JuJu Smith-Schuster will be critical to their cause in 2019. Tasked with being the team’s number one receiver, the young player will see coverages he has never had to contend with during his first two years in the league, while also having the responsibility of leading his position group.

For a player still only 22-years-old, that is an enormous weight to put on his shoulders, but it appears to be a challenge that Smith-Schuster is more than willing to accept.
