The Pittsburgh Steelers traded away wide receiver Antonio Brown to the Oakland Raiders during the offseason and his exit now means that third-year wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will be expected to be the team’s new No. 1 wide receiver. Such a distinction means that Smith-Schuster will now most-likely be the wide receiver to see the larger amounts of double and bracket coverages from opposing defenses as they’ll try to take him away as a target for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as much as possible.
After the Steelers Wednesday OTA practice in Pittsburgh, Smith-Schuster was asked if he knows what to expect this upcoming season when comes to all of the extra attention in coverage he’s likely to see.
