JuJu Smith Schuster’s time in Pittsburgh came to an end when he signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs during free agency a few months ago.

The fan-favorite receiver made his official goodbye to the city on Sunday, when he hosted an event for fans at “The Terminal” in the Strip District.

Hundreds of fans lined up to greet the former Steeler, who spent his first five seasons in the league in Pittsburgh.

The event started at 9 a.m. and for a $20 donation, fans got a merchandise item, an autograph along with a photo.

All of the money raised was donated to four local charities, Paws Across Pittsburgh, The Miracle League, Magee-Womens Research Institute and Vintage of Familylinks.

There were reports that Smith-Schuster stayed until he was able to greet every fan that showed up, cancelling a flight to say and meet everyone.

Wearing a "Littsburgh" sweatshirt, Smith-Schuster signed autographs, shared stories with fans and even appeared in a few TikToks.

Schuster suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery after Week 5. He missed the rest of the season but played in the Steelers playoff game, a Wild Card loss to Kansas City.

Shuster’s one-year deal with the Chiefs is worth $3.25 million.
