I’m not worried about what he’s got going on with his team. I wish him nothing but the best. He’s a great player. He dominates on the field.

I would take five catches for 30 yards and win the game than have 10 catches, two touchdowns. It’s not really about myself at the end of the day. It’s about the Super Bowl.”It will take a village to replace Brown. Smith-Schuster concedes that. He will lead a group that includes James Washington, Donte Moncrief, third-round pick Diontae Johnson, Eli Rogers and Ryan Switzer.Only 22, Smith-Schuster finds himself the leader in the receivers room.“There’s no need for me to go out of my way and yell at the guys,” Smith-Schuster said. “We’re all adults here.
