JuJu Smith-Schuster The First In Team History To Catch 100 Passes In 1st 20 Games

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught seven passes for 111 yards in the team’s final game before the bye week against the Cincinnati Bengals. Those seven receptions gave him 42 on the season, and 100 even for his career, which came in his 20th came played over the course of his first two seasons.

That made him the first Steelers player in history to reach the 100-catch mark in his first 20 games. The fastest player to reach 100 career receptions prior to Smith-Schuster was actually…running back Le’Veon Bell, who in his second season caught the 100th pass of his career in his 23rd game.
