One of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest offseason headlines was the departure of receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to the Kansas City Chiefs. Drafted in the second round in 2017, Smith-Schuster had an incredible first two seasons with the team. However, this success did not last and it became evident that Smith-Schuster was not a good fit with the team’s offense.
In signing with the Chiefs, Smith-Schuster is now part of one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL. Led by offensive mastermind head coach Andy Reid and Super Bowl winning quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Smith-Schuster appears to have carved out the consistent and optimal role for his skill set that he could not find in Pittsburgh.
