Juju was a loyal Steeler. If my memory serves, he battled back from the serious shoulder injury to play in the final game in the hopes of getting the Steelers into the playoffs, putting his own career at risk. Steeler fans forget that it was Juju who slayed the Burfict dragon, something at the time that seemed would never happen. Pittsburgh loved Juju’s toughness on the field, but could never reconcile his habits on social media.

What really happened was.. he had a career year when playing with AB. He actually won team MVP in 2018. When he won team MVP, AB took that personally and left the team (other things played a factor with AB leaving, like him being crazy). Once AB left it was clear Juju was not a number 1 WR.

This part got forgotten, but as a Steeler fan, I'll always respect Juju for coming back to play in the playoff game against the Chiefs in his last year with the Steelers. It was Ben's last game, and I think the reason Juju came back for that one year was because he knew it was probably gonna be Ben's last year. So it was pretty cool that he pushed himself to play in that game, even though we got smoked.
