Antonio Brown is on the Oakland Raiders now but JuJu Smith-Schuster and the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers can't escape the questions about him. Brown has been knocked for a lot of things during his career but everyone including Smith-Schuster knows how impressive his work ethic is.
Smith-Schuster took notice early during his time with the Steelers of Brown's work ethic and thinks everyone else in the organization did too.
“I think everyone picked it [his work ethic] up,” Smith-Schuster was telling Dejan Kovacevic at the Rooney Complex during OTAs via dkpittsburghsports.com. “Not only as a receiver, but everybody on this team, they [saw] how AB worked, they [saw] how he came out here every day and he just went hard, 100 percent.
It's clear even though he learned from Brown that he is about done talking about him and just wants to focus on people in the locker room right now.
“But I think for myself, I’m just focused on the guys that we have here and how we can get better and just increase our game play.”
With Brown gone, it is now Smith-Schuster who needs to have an impressive work ethic and be a leader for the rest of the team.
The hope is that Smith-Schuster can also continue the production he has had the last couple of years. Last season he led the team in catches, receiving yards, and finished second on the team in touchdowns.
If the Steelers want to make another deep playoff run, the former USC Trojan is going to be a big reason why.
