Ron Cook: Steelers rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster not overwhelmed by his situation

So you think JuJu Smith-Schuster is fitting in quite comfortably with the Steelers despite being the youngest player in the NFL?

You have no idea.

Smith-Schuster has earned enough trust from his coaches and quarterback to split time with Eli Rogers as the team’s third wide receiver. He had 38 snaps in the game Sunday against Minnesota, up from 25 a week earlier against Cleveland. He scored a touchdown against the Vikings on his first NFL catch. He threw a ferocious block on safety Harrison Smith that surely made Hines Ward smile. And get this: He organized the team’s “Casino Night” end zone celebrations after his touchdown and Martavis Bryant’s earlier touchdown.
