Lost among all the drama of Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks was the achievement by Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. The talented young wide receiver finished the game with 84 receiving yards on five receptions.
This gave Smith-Schuster 2,505 career receiving yards and making him the youngest player in NFL history to ever reach that mark. Through two games in 2019 Smith-Schuster has 11 receptions for 162 yards.
Smith-Schuster had a breakout season in 2018 when he finished with 111 receptions for 1,426 receiving yards. These were best on the team. Now Smith-Schuster is learning to adjust to life as the team’s top receiving option this season.
Smith-Schuster is currently on pace to finish 2019 with 88 receptions for 1,296 receiving yards.
