After having six players named to the All-AFC team, the Pro Football Writers of American honored two more members of the black and gold. JuJu Smith-Schuster and T.J. Watt have both been named to the 2017 All-Rookie team, as voted on by the members of the PFWA.
Smith-Schuster jumped on the scene early for Pittsburgh. Maybe it wasn’t his on-the-field antics that earned him the love from fans at first, but eventually, JuJu became a household name in the Steel City.
His 58 catches, 917 yards and seven touchdowns were second on the team. On top of his few but meaningful kick returns and his character during touchdown celebrations, Smith-Schuster is one of the brightest young talents in the NFL.
