Getting Lit With JuJu


JuJu Smith-Schuster is one of the most lit football players in the NFL. He is also one of the most entertaining and interesting players in the NFL. JuJu's real full name is John Sherman Smith-Schuster. There are a lot of people with the last name with Smith. But, the fact that his last name is Smith-Schuster makes his name a lot of fun to say. Everyday JuJu finds a way to get attention whether it be on the field, off the field or on social media. JuJu is gaining followers on Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat because of how much fun he has in life. He does seem to be doing a lot of cool things.

JuJu is still a kid who is trying to enjoy life as much as possible. He is able to find a way to relate to his fans and regular normal people. Before JuJu go this Driver's License, he traveled to Steelers practice riding a bike. The fact that ESPN made a video on JuJu getting his license shows how popular he is. I have never seen society get so interested with a famous player getting their Driver's License; that it is actually awesome. JuJu was at the Dick Sporting Goods at Robinson Township in Pennsylvania; he was there pretending to be an employee. He was fooling customers left and right as only one of the customers recognized who he was.

Some people might want JuJu to focus more on football instead of having fun. JuJu has clearly said he likes video games and one of his favorite games is Fortnite. JuJu started to have more of a connection with his fans because of his interest in Fortnite. If you did not know, Fortnite is still a very popular video game.

There was this one time that a New England Patriots fan wanted a picture with JuJu. JuJu agreed to take a picture with the fan. And what did he do? He flipped off the fan in the picture. That picture made Steelers fans and non-Patriot fans like JuJu even more and once again his popularity starts increasing. JuJu is doing everything to support his brand; all you can do is respect him for trying to give himself the best life he can.

JuJu knows what it takes to become a professional wide receiver. JuJu played 14 games last season, 7 of those games he started last season. In those 14 games he had 58 receptions for 917 yards and 7 touchdowns. JuJu knows that since he is gaining popularity every day, that more people will focus on his production on the football field. A lot of people who are not fans of JuJu will talk about his playoff performance against Jacksonville last season when he had 3 receptions for 5 yards and 1 touchdown. Anytime a player scores a touchdown for an NFL team in the playoffs, you know that player was productive in that game. It does not matter when they score the touchdown in the game; it matters if they score a touchdown and JuJu did that game.

What is funny about JuJu is the fact that he still gets star-struck when he sees famous people. It's funny because he is a star himself. JuJu met famous athletes LeBron James and Zlatan Ibrahimović and he was so happy you could tell on the smile on his face in those pictures. The fact that JuJu tried to recruit LeBron to the Pittsburgh Steelers was hysterical. Imagine if JuJu actually found a way to convince LeBron to stop playing basketball and play football for the Steelers. If LeBron actually went to play for the Steelers, JuJu would have been considered God in the city of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto maybe could have given the keys to the city of Pittsburgh to JuJu if he succeeded in recruiting LeBron.

JuJu viciously hit Cincinnati Bengals player Vontaze Burfict in Week 13 last season. That was the point where JuJu was really considered a hero in the city of Pittsburgh. No other Steeler had the guts to stand up to Burfict like JuJu did. Before he hit Burfict, he probably thought to himself that if he crushes Burfict that he'll be considered a hero and his popularity would increase. As a result, JuJu hit Burfict and a lot of people in Pittsburgh were calling JuJu a hero after that hit. JuJu got suspended against the Ravens the following week. Hey, at least that hit by JuJu gave the Steelers momentum to beat the Bengals that week. You should all know that if JuJu would have played in the game against Baltimore, he probably would have exceed over 1,000 yards last season in the regular season.

JuJu has been having fun even before he played his first NFL game. Sometimes my friends would tell me that they would see him down at the "Big Screen" near PPG Paints Arena, during Pittsburgh Penguin playoff games, having fun with random people.

You either like JuJu, or you do not like JuJu. We will see if JuJu can be a very productive wide receiver this season. He did had that nice reception for a touchdown against the Eagles on Thursday. JuJu will be talked about more by the media; it is going to be entertaining to watch.
