Steelers get help at wideout, select JuJu Smith-Schuster with 62nd pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected USC Trojans wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster with the 62nd overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
What It Means:
Smith-Schuster was the youngest NFL prospect out there as he won't turn 21 until late-November. Despite his youth, he brings plenty of experience, playing in 40 games in three seasons at USC. The wideout doesn't possess elite speed (4.54 40-yard dash) or size (6'1", 215 lbs) but is a smooth route runner and isn't afraid to make the tough catch in traffic. With the pick, Sammie Coates may be in danger of losing a roster spot to the rookie.
Smith-Schuster amassed 213 catches, 3,092 yards and 25 touchdowns in three seasons at USC.
