Yeah, this one sucked. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver spoke to fans, family and friends Monday during his foundation's charity event about his season-ending shoulder injury. 

From the moment he begins speaking, Smith-Schuster shed tears - and yeah, so did we. 

"Last night was the hardest night for me," the Steelers wideout said. "Football has done so much for me in my life. More than you guys will ever know."

The 24-year-old underwent surgery on his shoulder Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the season. He signed a one-year, $8 million deal to return to the Steelers in the offseason and will hit free agency agains in 2022.

The event celebrated Smith-Schuster's Samoan heritage and raised combined $50,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of Western Pa. and Reading is FUNdamental.
