    He has now played in 17 games in his NFL career and has accumulated 85 receptions for 1273 yards and eight receiving touchdowns.

    Over his past 10 games since the Detroit Lions game last season, he has caught 68 passes for 1042 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Over a full season, that would translate to 109 receptions for 1667 yards and 10 touchdowns.


    Wow. How good is this young man? Unreal start to his career. He is a joy to watch and one of the best things about being a fan of this team.

    How good is he? Very. How good can he get? We shall see.


    Very impressive start to the season though. Ranking fourth in catches and third in yards thus far. He is definitely in for a "sophomore explosion".


    Here is hoping he receives an All Pro nod before it is all said and done for the season. :)

    And if his personality doesn't change, he may be an all-time fan favorite.

    When the Steelers selected him last year as a 2nd round pick I was stunned and disappointed that they didn't address the secondary that early for the necessary position. Never thought WR was a big need and thought it was a terrible reach. Boy am I glad to be wrong on so many levels about that pick.

    In a season full of drama he is a true gift.

    he proved all the media wrong from training camp. said he kept screwing up in practice by dropping the ball and running the wrong routes. boy he proved them wrong.

    I love it. a lot of similarities with Hines Ward but probably faster. Lets hope he continues to produce as long as Hines did in the black and goal. Great off the field personality also.

    Anyone pay attention to the "Super Genius" Mark Madden. The man hates him because he thinks he's distracted just because of how much fun he has off the field. Does he realize he's 21?

    As long as he produces on the field and doesn't give us more drama off, like we've had, I don't care if he continues to act like a kid and have fun like one.

    I agree about his quickly becoming a favorite. You just cannot not like him.

    But I think there's little chance of him becoming a diva. He doesn't seem wired that way.

    The bad thing is that it's almost impossible to say his full name without sounding drunk.

    My favorite thing about Juju is his ability to complete the deep passes. Aside from AB, so many of our receivers have struggled to catch the deep ball for years. Juju makes the catches and goes about his day. I love it!

    I think the key to his success is the fun he is having. Life, work, love, are all better when you are having fun. I think some of these other players forget that is why they play the game. Obviously I'm not in their shoes, but it makes me mad when players make a business out of something I would have given my left n.., something I would love to do for a living! My worst football game as a kid still ranks up there with my best day of work. Really love watching a young man love what he is doing!

    Give Mike Tomlin credit for drafting him.
