7JuJu Smith-Schuster – Steelers receiver
Sunday’s defeat against New England left a painful mark on the Steelers. A bad last-second pick by Ben Roethlisberger combined with league’s ludicrous catch rule spoiled an effort that nearly saw Smith-Schuster save his team with the amazing 69-yard catch-and-run with under a minute to play, the longest reception against New England in the final two minutes of a fourth quarter in the Bill Belichick era. If that alone wasn’t bad enough, Antonio Brown’s partially torn calf puts a lot of pressure on JuJu to step up and become a leader in his first NFL season. But, that might be possible since the team will play the floating Texans and Browns. In the end, Smith-Schuster is indeed considered to be one of the game’s most dangerous targets from the slot. That wonderful 69-yard catch enabled JuJu’s run for 109.4 yards of total distance which is the most yards covered on reception so far in this season.
