the Pittsburgh Steelers currently have 10 wide receivers under contract and JuJu Smith-Schuster is the youngest of the bunch. Even so, Smith-Schuster is now probably considered the unquestioned leader of the wide receiver room right now thanks to the team trading away Antonio Brown during the offseason and choosing not to re-sign Darrius Heyward-Bey. For what it’s worth, Smith-Schuster seems to be embracing the role of being the new leader of the team’s wide receivers.
“Yeah, it is weird,” Smith-Schuster said after Wednesday’s OTA practice when reminded he’s currently the youngest wide receiver on the team right now despite already playing two seasons in the NFL.
