JuJu Smith-Schuster Claims He's Excited to Watch Antonio Brown on 'Hard Knocks'

HBO has announced that the Oakland Raiders, a team with the powder keg personalities of Jon Gruden, Vontaze Burfict, Richie Incognito, and, of course, Antonio Brown all in the fold, are going to piped right into our living rooms as the stars of the annual training camp docu-series "Hard Knocks." Like many of us, JuJu Smith-Schuster of the Steelers is going to have his eyes glued to the TV, as the country as a whole gets to see AB raw and unfiltered.

While JuJu did try to tamp down any potential beef between he and his former Pittsburgh teammate, he couldn't contain his excitement for "Hard Knocks" this time around.

"Everyone is curious how [Brown]'s going to do and how he’s going to perform," Smith-Schuster said. "Honestly, I think he is a great player. I think Derek Carr is a good quarterback. I’ll be super excited to see what he does, what the team does. 'Hard Knocks' should be interesting to watch."

No team featured on "Hard Knocks" has had a winning season since the 2013 Cincinnati Bengals went 11-5. While it may not translate to wins, we'll still get to see who the real AB is for the first time in an Oakland uniform.

All told, HBO has surely found a more-than-worthy "Game of Thrones" replacement. Expect fire at the very least.
