Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster determined to stick with the staff with the hope of getting extra work on the surface in 2021. Thus far, that hasn’t occurred.

By way of Mark Kaboly of TheAthletic.com, Smith-Schuster has gotten “limited-to-no outside work” since padded follow started.

“Possibly that adjustments as we get deeper into camp,” Kaboly writes, “however contemplating the roles of the receivers appear outlined, with Chase Claypool outdoors, Diontae Johnson transferring round and James Washington one other outdoors possibility, Smith-Schuster seems to be left to the slot, the place he has been superb.”

Certainly he has. And the presence of these different three receivers will make it even tougher for Smith-Schuster to out of the slot. As these others develop and draw extra consideration, it could possibly be simpler for Smith-Schuster to get open, catch passes, and have the type of 12 months that can get him a greater free agent payday than the one he obtained this 12 months.
