AJ Brown gets into war of words with JuJu Smith-Schuster

AJ Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster will not be each other’s Valentines any time soon.

The Kansas City Chiefs receiver Smith-Schuster went viral Tuesday for a savage tweet about Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry, on whom he drew a crucial late holding penalty to set up the Chiefs’ game-winning field goal in Super Bowl LVII.

The Eagles receiver Brown was not pleased about the post and fired back at Smith-Schuster less than an hour later.

That led to another tweet from Smith-Schuster that included thumbs-up emoji as well as a ring emoji.

For context, Smith-Schuster used to be notorious for making TikTok videos in which he danced on opponents’ logos. Although Smith-Schuster has since ditched the practice, he ruffled many feathers with his antics.

As for Smith-Schuster’s play on the field, Brown is right that his career was on the downtrend before he signed his one-year contract with the Chiefs last offseason. Smith-Schuster found his swagger again with Mahomes, though, leading all Kansas City wideouts with 78 catches for 933 yards this season.

There was probably no reason for Smith-Schuster to get that disrespectful with Bradberry less than two full days after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl triumph. It just made him look like a sore winner, and Brown, who is never afraid to mix it up with opponents, let Smith-Schuster know about it.
