Why is JuJu Smith-Schuster called TikTok boy? Jackson Mahomes might have finally found his competition
JuJu Smith-Schuster just won his first Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs. Since the big win, the now-free agent has started some Twitter feuds with various Philadelphia Eagles players.
On Tuesday, Smith-Schuster tweeted a Valentine's Day card with the picture of Eagles cornerback James Bradberry, which referred to the corner's holding call on the wide receiver that led to the Chiefs' win. Bradberry's teammate, Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown didn't take to that jab very well.
Brown retweeted Smith-Schuster's comments and took a shot at the wide receiver. Brown first congratulated him on the Super Bowl win and said that the Chiefs deserved the victory. But Brown then said that Smith-Schuster's comments were lame and that he felt that the wide receiver was on his way out of the NFL until quarterback Patrick Mahomes 'resurrected' his career.
A.J. Brown noted that the wide receiver was only on a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs before calling him "TikTok boy." Brown finished by saying that Bradberry did admit he was guilty of holding but that Smith-Schuster didn't need to act like that now.
"First off congratulations. Y'all deserve it.This is lame. You was on the way out the league before [Mahomes] resurrected your career on your 1 year deal Tik-Tok boy . [Bradberry] admitted that he grabbed you but don't act like your like that or ever was. But congratulations again!"

Brown's reference to calling Smith-Schuster "Tik Tok Boy" is partly due to the latter's presence on the social media platform. As a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, he constantly posted videos of himself dancing on the field, earning the infamous nickname of "TikTok boy."
While Chiefs fans were already overwhelmed with Patrick Mahomes' younger brother Jackson creating TikToks on the field, many wondered if JuJu Smith-Schuster's presence on the platform would offer some competition.
Jackson's most recent stunt was interrupting his brother's postgame interview by creating a TikTok on the field:
Eagles' CJ Gardner-Johnson responds to JuJu Smith-Schuster's comments
Wide receiver A.J. Brown wasn't the only Philadelphia Eagles player to support James Bradberry after the holding call that essentially decided the Super Bowl LVII outcome.
After JuJu Smith-Schuster tweeted his remarks at Bradberry, safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson had something to say about the wide receiver, insinuating that Smith-Schuster was a "school boy" trying to act tough.
"School boys acting gangsta."

Gardner-Johnson said he had more interceptions in the 2022 NFL season than Smith-Schuster had touchdowns. Gardner-Johnson added that perhaps he should consider switching to the offensive side of the ball and becoming a wide receiver.
"I got more INT's then bra had TD's….. maybe I need to change to WR."
I got more INT’s then bra had TD’s….. maybe I need to change to WR 😅😂
Gardner-Johnson finished by saying that the Chiefs wide receiver has a lot to say for a player who doesn't have that much production on the field:
"JuJu talk a lot for a guy who ain't productive Frfr, AB made you look amazing ..... after that you been toilet water ..... wait let me put at stamp on it @TeamJuJu."
Although Smith-Schuster seemed to have annoyed many people while he was with the Steelers, those sentiments haven't changed with the Chiefs. Now that he is approaching free agency again, will the Chiefs re-sign the wide receiver or cut their losses and stray away from the drama?
