All three Pro Bowlers the Pittsburgh Steelers selected during the 2017 NFL Draft played inside of Acrisure Stadium this week. Two of them won—the only loser played twice, as a member of the home team. First it was third-round RB James Conner having a season-high game to help the 2-10 Arizona Cardinals beat his former team.
Just four days later, second-round WR JuJu Smith-Schuster hade his return to Pittsburgh with the 2-10 New England Patriots, making big plays and posting his highest yardage total of the year to help beat his former team.
Smith-Schuster was looking like the next great Pittsburgh wide receiver by the end of his second season in 2018, a Pro Bowl campaign in which he put up 1,426 yards on 111 receptions.
