PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Criticism has come from NFL greats, fans, other NFL players, but JuJu Smith-Schuster says he will continue to dance.
“One thing I will tell you guys, I’m not going to stop being myself,” Smith-Schuster said on Wednesday. “I’m going to be the JuJu I came in to be, authentic.”
Bills players said after they beat the Steelers on the scoreboard and physically, they were motivated by a TikTok video posted by Smith-Schuster dancing on the Bills logo before the game.
Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen told his team before the game to let the Steelers do all of the talking and all of the dancing, and they will do the work.
Mike Tomlin didn’t seem to believe the impact.
“You know, these are professional players,” Tomlin said. “These guys are motivated each and every week. Sometimes they say things in an effort to
provide a vision of motivation and things of that nature. I doubt, knowing the group that coaches that team Sean McDermott, I’m sure they were motivated in all the proper ways and that had very little relevance in how that game was played.”
Regardless, JuJu isn’t stopping.
“TikTok is a new platform that I’ve used to touch my fans and grow,” Smith-Schuster said. “This is something that I’ve been doing since the start of the season, mid-season. I’ve even did it on the Cowboys logo, not just their logo. I plan to just keep doing it.”
“I’m just having fun doing myself. At the end of the day, we go out there and play and that’s how it was. Yes, we lost. They had a few words to say. It is what it is. I’m not going to stop doing it.”
