How would the Steelers replace JuJu Smith-Schuster? History says next man up

PITTSBURGH -- Grasping one end of a thick, knotted rope, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster dug his feet in and used all of his muscular 6-foot-1, 215-pound frame to pull back as hard as he could. At the other end, though, a 425-pound lion clutched the rope in her mouth and pulled back with ease, controlling the tug of war against the NFL wide receiver.

After a few minutes, Smith-Schuster gave into the lion's power and his end of the rope went slack as he loosened his grip in surrender.

A few days later, the impending free agent posted the video to social media and speculation of a deeper meaning behind the stunt picked up.
