Steelers JuJu Smith-Schuster shows why he’s a fan favorite in Pittsburgh

It didn’t take long for JuJu Smith-Schuster to explode onto the scene for the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a rookie in 2017, JuJu played 14 games and started just 7, yet managed 917 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown and a kick return touchdown, while breaking out for an impressive 26.7 yards per kick return.

In year two, JuJu was even more impressive. He proved to be more than just a reliable target for Ben Roethlisberger, and cemented his status as an upper echelon wide receiver in the NFL. JuJu not only pulled down some impressive numbers (111 catches, 1,426 yards, 7 touchdowns), but was also one of the best receivers in the clutch – showing up big against the Jaguars and the Bengals.
