Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster on Talking to Media: 'Not Going to Be an Assh--e'

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster said Wednesday he'll make himself available to the media every day throughout the 2019 NFL season.

"I'm not going to be an assh--e," he told reporters.

Smith-Schuster has made a concerted effort to differentiate himself from longtime Steelers No. 1 receiver Antonio Brown, who was traded to the Oakland Raiders in March.

In October, Brown said he often spoke with Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger about their stance of the media playing a role in trying to stir about issues between them.
