JuJu Smith-Schuster Raising Money for Late Steelers Coach Amid AB Drama is Perfect
By Jerry Trotta
Isn't it great when things work out?
The Antonio Brown saga with the Oakland Raiders seems to take an unforeseen twist every 24 hours, and somewhere in Pittsburgh, the Rooney family and Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert are unable to hold back a smug grin.
Not only are they laughing, however, but they are also strutting with pride. Amid all the controversy surrounding AB, JuJu Smith-Schuster is helping raise money for the family of late Steelers wide receivers coach Darryl Drake, who unexpectedly passed away at the age of 62 last month.
Welcome back to planet Earth, ladies and gentleman, a place where professional athletes use their fame and fortune for the greater good...and not a bargaining chip to do literally everything possible to destroy a franchise.
This is perfect. First and foremost because it's an incredibly touching gesture by JuJu, but also because the former face of Pittsburgh's organization is repeating exactly what he did a season ago in the Steel City.
The Steelers now have a 22-year-old wideout, and a damn good one at that, who is anything but self-absorbed, assuming the role of the franchise cornerstone. It's nothing but sunshine and rainbows in Pitt right now.
As for Oakland? Well, the forecast reads clouds and rain for the foreseeable future.
