The Kansas City Chiefs saved JuJu Smith-Schuster’s career.
He failed to step up as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ no. 1 guy with Antonio Brown gone, with his production taking a dip every year.
He was more known for his Tik Toks and rants than his actual production on the field, failing to haul in 1,000+ yards in three straight seasons, all while totaling 12 touchdowns.
Moreover, his reputation around the league wasn’t exactly good, with multiple players constantly taking shots at him for his antics on social media.
But as much as people dislike him, Smith-Schuster has earned his bragging rights, as he’s now a Super Bowl champion.
That’s why he took to Twitter to mock James Bradberry for the holding call that eventually gave his team a chance to run out the clock and win the big game.
And unsurprisingly, such a tasteless move didn’t go unnoticed by Philadelphia Eagles players, who called him out on Twitter.
In fact, Eagles star A.J. Brown went at him at full steam, calling him lame and urging him to stop acting like a big shot after he was nearly out of the league for his lack of production.
Notably, the controversial wideout replied by asking him which finger he should get sized for his Super Bowl ring.
Glad you were finally able to get all that off your chest after all these years. Good game bro 👍🏾💍 https://t.co/2JNdB6uYqU

He wasn’t Patrick Mahomes’ no.1 target by any means, but he did record 933 yards and three scores in 78 receptions this season.
Smith-Schuster failed to live up to the expectations after a promising start to his career, and these character issues are proof of why his colleagues do not like him.
There’s no need to go out on social media to make fun of a rival you’ve already beaten, especially if there was no bad blood between those teams.
So, don’t be shocked if we see several Vonn Bell-like hits on him next season.
That was so lame.
