JuJu Smith-Schuster's career in the NFL was falling on hard times just a year or two ago. After a public beef with Antonio Brown, it felt like JuJu couldn't do anything right. His statistics were going down the drain in Pittsburgh, and he needed a way to rejuvenate his career. Consequently, he decided to go and sign a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. Overall, playing with Patrick Mahomes is a great plan if you want the league to see you as an elite receiver again.
While he was by no means the number one option, JuJu had a fairly good year with the Chiefs. In fact, on Sunday, Smith-Schuster was able to cap off the year with a Super Bowl victory. Moreover, he was a big reason for the win as he drew the holding call on James Bradberry which eventually led to the Chiefs' game-winning field goal. Despite having some nice catches throughout his game, it was this call that turned out to be his biggest contribution.
JuJu Smith-Schuster On Valentine's Day
In the tweet above, JuJu decided to troll Bradberry with a Valentine's Day card that reads "I'll hold you when it matters most." Immediately, fans and NFL stars found this to be incredibly corny. In fact, AJ Brown of the Eagles was not happy with JuJu and responded accordingly. "First off congratulations. Y’all deserve it. This is lame. You was on the way out the league before Mahomes resurrected your career on your 1-year deal Tik-Tok boy," Brown said. "He admitted that he grabbed you but don’t act like your like that or ever was. But congratulations again!" Smith-Schuster offered a response of his own, saying "Glad you were finally able to get all that off your chest after all these years. Good game bro."
Considering all that has happened over the past few years, maybe JuJu doesn't need to be trolling like this. After winning a title, it is just a bad look and lacks professionalism. However, it's an opportunity for fans to make fun of him, and they will take it. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments down below.
