If you’re a Steelers fan and an NFL draft junkie, the moment JuJu Smith-Schuster was drafted doesn’t quite measure up to the moment Ben Roethlisberger was drafted.
When Roethlisberger in that pinstripe suit spoke to his new coach on the phone, those of us watching on TV saw a turning point in Steelers history even if we didn’t know it at the time.
In those days, the first round of the draft took place on Saturday afternoon.
Now, the second round is prime time TV. When the Steelers drafted Smith-Schuster with the 62nd overall pick, he was on camera crying tears of joy.
