Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster might’ve posted one of the most-hated customized Valentine’s Day cards of all time.
On Tuesday, Smith-Schuster enjoyed some topical trolling of Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry after the latter committed that controversial holding penalty during Super Bowl 57.
Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown delivered a devastating comeback aimed at Smith-Schuster, one where he blisteringly called him “Tik-Tok boy.”
Well, as you can imagine, word traveled fast on NFL Twitter about Smith-Schuster’s hilarious-yet-incredibly-petty Valentine’s gag.
Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson didn’t hold back his thoughts on the Twitter controversy.
JuJu ran from me when I check him in game 🥱🥱🥱 then 10 got his smoke 🤮

Whew, that’s actually a pretty effective clapback from Gardner-Johnson, particularly the interception-to-touchdown jab. Let’s see how Smith-Schuster responded.
Yea 🤣🤣 I went to the sideline to call him https://t.co/Xv97nrRBQW pic.twitter.com/BB8JLjHNsE

Ooof. The infamous Javon Wims punch. While Gardner-Johnson definitely won that round with the former Chicago Bears wideout, Smith-Schuster’s replies were loud and clear.
Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons also chimed in on Smith-Schuster’s tweeting, which is a bit odd since this involved Dallas’ archrival. Maybe it’s an offense vs. defense thing. Who’s to say.
Damm social media has allowed players social media skills be better than their football skills ! #SAD

As for Bradberry, he took the high road and just reminded folks exactly what all he accomplished this year.

Well, as you can guess, this probably won’t simmer anytime soon. We’ll see if any other NFL players get into a back-and-forth with Smith-Schuster and if this Valentine’s Day trolling will inspire any more rounds of beef.
