JuJu is your new Hines ward
Those are big shoes. Rather than compare him to Hines, I think you will like his game. He competes like crazy on the field. He fights for the ball, makes the tough catches, is great in the red zone because of the big body and strong hands. He runs hard after the catch and is extremely physical.
I believe fans are going to love his effort on the field and grow to really like this kid's game.
example of why I mentioned ward
I expect another WR in this draft. Josh Reynolds, Shelton Gibson, Mack Hollins, or another surprise with Chad Hanson.
JuJu is a great name
Juju reminds of Jerrico Cotchery more than anyone else, but with much more upside, obviously. Physical WR who is sure handed and willing to block. Ben will love Juju on third downs and in the red zone, where he also loved Cotch. What a great weapon to have!
Some highlights of JuJu for you to enjoy!
Someone in Ravens land felt very strongly that they should have drafted Juju. Not that I care what Ravens fans think but provides a good analysis of this guy

Just what this team needed. A great receiver to come in and add to the competition. Make all the other WR's step their game up. I was shocked he lasted as long as he did.
One of the guys on tv brought up Snoop. "He's a USC fan AND a Steelers fan, so probably celebrating the pick. And probably illegally." LOL
I didn't know that their fan base wanted Juju that badly so I was curious and went on their draft message thread and this is a sample of their reaction after the Steelers took Juju. Kinda funny:
No, no, no, no , no , no, no NONONONO
How many receivers do the steelers need?
I hate Pittsburgh.
I swear they only took him to be sure we didn't.
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME
HOLY KRAPP @ Steelers pick.
Crap
Steelers don't neglect their offense
Really Pittsburgh? Really.
They freaking took him just to rub it in our faces.
