His ability to transform both mind and body makes him highly sought after by celebrities, profe sional athletes, and those requiring drastic changes to their physique."While his worth ethic has Brett Pesce Women Jersey never been in question, it appears that Smith-Schuster is putting an extra emphasis on his training and overall fitne s level as he prepares for his fourth season.Along with his injures along and the lo s of Roethlisberger, Smith-Schuster also had Fredrik Claesson Men Jersey to fight through added attention from opposing defenses that no longer had to worry about , who left Pittsburgh during the 2019 offseason. With opposing defenses now putting two and sometimes three defenders in his area, Smith-Schuster struggled to adjust to the added attention. His struggles contributed to Pittsburgh's offensive woes, as the Steelers' offense was 27th in the NFL in scoring, 28th in pa sing, 29th in rushing, 27th on third down efficiency and 32nd in red zone efficiency. This is after a 2018 season that saw the Steelers lead the NFL in red zone efficiency while scoring a franchise record 53 touchdowns.

This offseason, the Steelers are expected to offer linebacker T.J. Jaccob Slavin Men Jersey Watt a long term deal.
