College Career

Just like the late, great Rodney Dangerfield, JuJu Smith-Schuster wasted no time making a splash on campus.

The Triple Lindy

In his freshman season (2014), with future Browns legend Cody Kessler under center, JuJu amassed 54 catches for 724 yards and found the end zone 5 times, good enough for 2nd Team All-Pac-12 honors.

His sophomore year, JuJu, once again with the most recent Savior of Cleveland by his side, shined as he put up a very sexy 89–1454–10 line (1st Team All-Pac-12 / 2nd Team All-American).

JuJu was on his own in 2016 as his wingman was fortunate enough to be drafted by Cleveland. Much like his pal Cody’s brain did last season, Smith-Schuster’s stat line took a hit as he posted 70–914–10 in his third and final campaign.

Injuries have plagued JuJu throughout his playing career, but not 1st Born Son or River of Blood stuff, this plague is more like the lesser known Squirrels in the Attic. While injuries (broken hand in 2015; back injury in 2016) may have limited his performance a bit, JuJu battled through to not miss any time. I see no reason to consider him “injury-prone.”

All-in-all, Schuster-Smith fulfilled expectations when he was recruited as a top-3 WR out of high-school. His success in USC’s pro-style offense should make him a fairly easy player to project, but the same could be said for those other Trojan WRs.
