JuJu Smith-Schuster Admits He's Not Mad at Antonio Brown

If you're looking for beef, you're going to have to look elsewhere, because JuJu Smith-Schuster isn't playing Antonio Brown's game.

After Brown publicly put down his former Steelers teammate by sharing an old DM and recalling JuJu's fumble against the Saints, the 22-year-old Smith-Schuster responded like a true professional. Fast forward a few months, and Smith-Schuster's stance hasn't wavered.

It's refreshing to see a rising third-year player act like an NFL veteran, especially compared to the clown-like antics the 31-year-old Brown has displayed over the past several months.

Smith-Schuster is now filling Pittsburgh's role as the team's top wideout -- a mantle that AB proudly held before forcing his way to Oakland. Though Brown's behavior is a headache all its own, his talent is undeniable, and Smith-Schuster didn't deny the fact that his teammate was elite.

"Everything he did, he dominated. I respect his game so much," said Smith-Schuster, describing his former teammate as a role model.

There may have been subtle jabs at Brown on JuJu's end, but he's ready to put the whole Brown vs. Steelers saga to bed and turn his attention to the upcoming season. The Steelers have their hands full for Week 1, taking on the reigning Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots.
