JuJu Smith-Schuster: For My Family


JuJu Smith-Schuster’s road to the NFL started in Long Beach, California, and it started with a strong bond with his family.

Behind the ear-to-ear smile, dance moves, and hijinks is a young man committed to getting better every time he steps on a football field. The drive to push himself further, the daily effort to outwork everyone is rooted in his dedication to his family and the values that have stuck with him since he was a kid growing up in Long Beach, California.

“Between those lines...I’m a savage. I’m going to do everything I can within all those inches and every second of that play to do the best I can. Because I know not only am I on the line, but my family and my dog Boujee. That’s how we rock.”
