It's no secret that Antonio Brown burned every bridge while leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers. For whatever reason, he also chose to not have any relationship with Juju Smith-Schuster when he originally came into the league. However, Smith-Schuster shares his reaction with attempting to talk with Antonio Brown, per Yahoo Sports.
“[Antonio's] blocked me on all social media from Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, my phone number. And we just live our lives,” said Smith-Schuster.
Even so, Juju Smith-Schuster is keeping a positive outlook on the situation. He provides his take on what it would be like had everything gone differently in Pittsburgh.
“I think he's one of the best to ever do it. If he didn't have the [falling out with the Steelers], I think our team would be ridiculous, amazing. With him, Le’Veon [Bell].”
At the end of the day, the Steelers would likely be “amazing” with Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown still on the roster. That would give the team Brown, Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool, and Diontae Johnson running routes for Ben Roethlisberger. Additionally, Pittsburgh would have a vastly improved rushing game with Bell coming out of the backfield. With a lineup like that, the Steelers would be in contention for the best offense in the league.
Even with Brown's fallout and the obvious bad blood he has for Smith-Schuster, the Steelers' current wide receiver is still rooting for Brown.
“I wish nothing but the best for him… for him to go out there and win a Super Bowl; congrats to him and, he keeps doing it,” he said.
The two will likely never be friends, but Smith-Schuster has taken an incredibly professional route in the matter.
