Smith-Schuster: Toughest adjustment to NFL is no more late-night gaming
For Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, the toughest part of his transition to the NFL has been ensuring he gets a good night's rest.
"Being young, you're just up all night, just having fun," the rookie said Thursday, according to Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I think that sleep has been more challenging for me just because I like to be up, play video games, do what young people do, social media, and then go to bed at 2 a.m. I'm still trying to balance that out."
Smith-Schuster is an avid gamer. Rather than going out to a bar to celebrate his 21st birthday last month, he stayed home playing video games and eating toast.
