It seems increasingly to be the case that the Pittsburgh Steelers are becoming best remembered by their fans for all the wrong—and all the stupid—reasons. This year, it appears that the most memorable moment of the season, and for which it might be collectively remembered by those who experienced it, were the moves and comments made by JuJu Smith-Schuster that have some fans now hoping that he leaves in free agency.
Forgetting the TikTok dances, the four-year veteran most recently drew fire because he described the Steelers’ then-upcoming opponent in what was perceived as an unflattering light. Preparing to face the Cleveland Browns in the postseason, he was asked if he felt this was a different team than the one he had faced up to this point in his career.
