Smith-Schuster Has Already Shown He Can Be Productive For Steelers Without Brown

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded away wide receiver Antonio Brown to the Oakland Raiders back in March and since then quite a few analysts have questioned if wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will now be able to be a productive number one in the offense. The main narrative to date has been that Smith-Schuster might struggle without having Brown on the field with him because he’ll start receiving a lot more attention from opposing defenses. While I understand the overall preface of that narrative, most that are perpetuating it don’t seem to know that we’ve already seen Smith-Schuster play extensively in his first two seasons in the NFL without Brown being on the field.
