When you put a microphone in the face of a 22-year-old and expect him the field questions all day, you can’t necessarily be sure of what you’re going to get, other than a lack of consistency. The Pittsburgh Steelers saw their young star wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster make the rounds all over the media networks to talk football and team business yesterday, however, and if there is one thing they would have rather he didn’t say, it would be what follows.
While appearing on the NFL Network with Reggie Bush, Steve Smith, and others, Smith-Schuster was asked about the previous season in which the Steelers finished 9-6-1 and on the outside looking in in terms of playoff participation, juxtaposing that against the 13-3 season of the year before.
