‘What Just Happened?’ David DeCastro Recalls Reaction To JuJu Smith-Schuster’s Hit On Vontaze Burfict

JuJu Smith-Schuster further endeared himself to the Steelers fan base in Week 13 of the 2017 season, when the rookie wide receiver delivered a vicious block on LB Vontaze Burfict, who had a history of less-than-clean hits against the Steelers. Burfict knocked Antonio Brown out with a concussion in the team’s playoff matchup the year before, and Smith-Schuster enacted some revenge by laying out Burfict in an eventual 23-20 Steelers win that was marred by Ryan Shazier’s career-ending neck injury.
