Mike Tomlin On JuJu Smith-Schuster Showing Up Late For One Practice: ‘I’m Gonna Fine You So Hard Your Kids Won’t Be Able To Go To College’

Talk to anyone who played for Mike Tomlin and you’ll hear one common theme. He’s as real as it gets. JuJu Smith-Schuster told a story that perfectly illustrates that in his discussion with Michael Irvin on Irvin’s podcast.

Smith-Schuster said one day, he showed up late for a training camp practice. And Mike Tomlin made it clear that wasn’t something he should do again.

“So one day I was late behind AB,” Smith-Schuster told the show. “[Tomlin] walked up to me and he goes, ‘I’m gonna fine you so hard, I’m gonna make sure your kids don’t go to college.
