PFF Identifies JuJu Smith-Schuster As Steelers’ ‘X-Factor’ For 2019 Season

Some things are just too obvious, aren’t they? For example, whenever a team loses a significant player, the focus is automatically going to go to the person who is replacing him. This offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost Antonio Brown, who just last year led the league in touchdown receptions, so understandably, a lot of attention has subsequently been paid to third-year wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Smith-Schuster of course has already been a starter for about a season and a half, if you’re talking about working in the number two role, but with Brown gone, he is now being asked to serve as the top target.
