A rivalry between Antonio Brown and and his former teammate, JuJu Smith-Schuster is developing as the two exchange Twitter jabs at each other.
On Sunday, when a Steelers fan reminded Brown on Twitter that Smith-Schuster was named the team’s MVP over Borwn last season, Brown responded by reminding everyone that it was Smith-Schuster’s fault the Steelers missed the playoffs after he fumbled the ball in the team’s Week 16 game vs New Orleans:
Emotion: boy fumbled the whole post season in the biggest game of year ! Everyone went blind to busy making guys famous not enough reality these days ! 🤙🏾 by the way check the list https://t.co/2SWWT8k0jx

The tweet was yet another unnecessary shot from Brown, who despite being traded away from Pittsburgh is still managing to rip the organization as much as he can and no one is safe, not even JuJu.
But unlike many in the organization has done, JuJu didn’t ignore Brown’s tweet, responding on Twitter:
All I ever did was show that man love and respect from the moment I got to the league. I was genuinely happy for him too when he got traded to Oakland w/ a big contract, and now he takes shots at me on social media?

Crazy how big that ego got to be to take shots at people who show you love! Smh

But Antonio Brown made sure he got in the last word, adding more fuel to fire by posting this direct message from JuJu Smith-Schuster from 2015 when JuJu was at Southern California:
Unfortunately for Brown, his intention to make Smith-Schuster look bad on Monday failed miserably as all the screenshotted direct message proved is that Smith-Schuster did, in fact, look up to Brown and treat him with respect.
One thing is for certain, I don’t think this is the end of the Brown-Steelers feud.
