JuJu Smith-Schuster – Stock: Up

JuJu has been a wrecking ball in his sophomore season. There has been no slump in his game and thank goodness for that.

His heroics led the Steelers into field goal range and gave them a shot to extend the game. Regardless of that outcome, he has come up big more times than not in his young career.

His reception Sunday was similar to his big play last year against New England that set them up in range to upset the Patriots.

Both time the Steelers came up short as a team to capitalize on his big plays. However, just because the team fell short does not mean he did. His stock is sky-high after putting together two great seasons thus far in his career.
