JuJu Smith-Schuster criticized for bizarre, lengthy parody video fanning flames of A.J. Brown, Eagles feud
JuJu Smith-Schuster just can’t help it. The TikTok star and soon-to-be free agent recipient continued to troll the Eagles and AJ Brown following the Chiefs’ victory in Super Bowl 57 a few weeks ago.
Smith-Schuster was, of course, involved in the game’s most contentious play when the umpires determined he was being pinned by Eagles cornerback James Bradberry, a decision that essentially ended the game. Since winning the Lombardi, Smith-Schuster has primarily targeted Eagles like Brown and Bradberry.
The latest wrinkle in history came Wednesday when he posted a bizarre video in collaboration with former college football player Brendon Clinton. Clinton is now an online content creator, also dubbed the “Coach 30.”
Clinton and Smith-Schuster’s video is just over two minutes long. It weaves together a crime story involving the Chinese government from 26 years ago and today’s spy balloon incident, finally declaring that Smith-Schuster’s mother, who plays herself in the video, will give birth to a “TikTok boy.”

The Chinese government has been on the hunt for the TikTok algorithm, although it’s hard to see how this ties into the infamous Super Bowl holding fine. TikTok is owned by a Chinese company called ByteDance, so it’s unclear how Smith-Schuster’s father, an American spy in the video, might have come across the algorithm 26 years ago.
Bradberry, Brown and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts are also portrayed in the skit.
It’s a detailed video that required extreme creativity and imagination – with flashbacks, drama and international conflict all part of the plot. You’ll probably have to watch it to try and figure out the plot. Because seeing is believing.
Smith-Schuster’s endless gloating seems to have no end in sight, prompting another reaction from the Eagles.

This all comes just weeks after Smith-Schuster started the feud by trolling the Eagles on Valentine’s Day in a tweet depicting Bradberry with the caption “I’ll hold you when it matters most.”
Of course, the tweet prompted a reaction from Brown, who got right into Smith-Schuster’s game.
Smith-Schuster’s antics don’t seem to find many friends in the league, as others have weighed in too, from Tyreek Hill to Micah Parsons.

No one needs to have told players in the league that most of Smith-Schuster’s trollings would likely go away if they just ignored him.
Unfortunately for the crew that put the video together, it doesn’t qualify for the 2023 Oscars, but maybe it can live up to 2024 if they add a little more length and layers. On the plus side for Smith-Schuster, he seems fully prepared for life after his playing days.
However, one has to wonder if Andy Reid would want to go back in time and instead name the piece for someone like Kadarius Toney. That would have saved them a lot of trouble. Until then, we’re waiting for Smith-Schuster and Jackson Mahomes to work together in the future.
