Steelers WR JuJu jokes about wishing to be a basketball player

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver, JuJu Smith-Schuster, has been one of the youngest wide receivers to break out in the past decade. His 169 catches and 2,343 yards in his first two seasons is one of the best marks in recent memory.

JuJu has two years remaining on his rookie deal that is going to bring in $1.2M on average over the next two seasons. Though the young Steelers receiver is going to become one of the highest paid receivers in the league in due time, it didn’t stop him from sharing a bit of his jealousy on Twitter:

About to have an important phone call with my mom, need some explanations about why she didn’t put me in basketball, these contracts are CRAZY!
