Steelers | JuJu Smith-Schuster works in goal-line packages

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster saw work in goal-line packages with the first-team offense during organized team activities. He also saw extensive work with the Juggs machine after practice, and by his estimation, he caught 240 passes. He caught them in sets of 20 from distances far away to up close and practically right in front of the machine. It was a way of toughening his hands and seeing passes come at a variety of speeds.

Footballguys View: With the retirement of Heath Miller, the Steelers could use a red zone passing option beyond Antonio Brown. A big, handsy slot receiver, Smith-Schuster could be that guy. Right now, he’s not tracking very well in early drafts – his ADP is a distant 258 overall and 76 among wide receivers – but it’s worth tracking his progress as he could be a sneaky touchdown producer and see a lot of red zone targets, making him potentially more valuable then his current status if you are in a PPR league.
