These athletes are just as obsessed with Fortnite as you are

While the NFL is sometimes heralded as the “No Fun League,” few athletes are as good at making the NFL fun for fans as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
In his rookie year with the Steelers, Smith-Schuster became one of the most popular players in the NFL — at least according to the internet.
On top of his 917 yards with seven touchdowns while averaging 15.8 yards per reception, Schuster had a hilarious saga with a stolen bike and became known for his viral end zone celebrations.
Last season, the NFL relaxed their rules on celebrations, and the speedy wide receiver out of USC delivered. He had a few phenomenal celebrations like the Dragon Ball Z and the Hide-and-Seek, but he said that better than all of that — better than every touchdown scored — was playing Fortnite with Drake.
Yes, Schuster was a part of that infamous night where Drake decided to play Fortnite with a popular streamer, Ninja, and Smith-Schuster was one of the celebrities that joined in on the fun. Watched by hundreds of thousands, for those of you who were awake, this was one of the craziest nights in video game history.
However, this was not the only time Smith-Schuster has mentioned Fortnite. He’s a die-hard player who has Fortnite videos that have seen well over 100,000 views.
If you’re a fan of Fortnite, you should be a Smith-Schuster fan. In fact, you should probably be a Smith-Schuster fan unless your favorite NFL team plays in the AFC North.
