JuJu Smith-Schuster could be on the verge of the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ comeback tour in 2026, orchestrated by his former USC teammate and one of the newest wide receivers in the Steel City: Michael Pittman Jr.
On Instagram, Pittman responded to Smith-Schuster’s comment on his post, recruiting the former Steelers wide receiver to return to Pittsburgh.
“When you coming home, OG,” Pittman wrote to Smith-Schuster.
Smith-Schuster, who was selected by the Steelers with the 62nd overall pick in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, played five seasons in Pittsburgh, recording 3,855 receiving yards and 27 total touchdowns.
Pittman, who played with Smith-Schuster at USC during the 2016 season, is looking to reunite with his former Trojan teammate, while JuJu would return to the city that welcomed him into the NFL.
