Pittsburgh Steelers – JuJu Smith-Schuster

JuJu Smith-Schuster (we’re just going to call him JuJu from here on out) is one of the more popular Fortnite players in the NFL. JuJu is perhaps best known for his time spent on Ninja’s Twitch stream along with rappers Drake and Travis Scott, among others.

No need to speculate about JuJu, he’s actually very good at the game. If you follow him on Twitter or Instagram, you’ll see him posting about it all the time. He’s also becoming a beast in the game of football as well. Here’s a perfectly clean block he laid on Vontaze Burfict, alongside the next great Fortnite emote celebration.

JuJu loves Fortnite so much that he often vlogs about it. He’s the ultimate representation of what Fortnite has become in the sporting community. He is bridging the gap between athletes and gamers.

He dove right into the world of esports in Feb. 2018 when he partnered with popular gaming group Faze Clan. The group plays and streams competition matches in Fortnite, Call of Duty and other popular shooter games.

On the field, JuJu looks to build upon his breakout rookie season in which he caught 58 balls for 917 yards and seven scores. He’s fully benefitting from playing with veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who definitely has no idea what Fortnite is. It probably also helps to have the league’s best receiver across from you in Antonio Brown.

Favorite weapon: SCAR. Precision, timing and power meet Smith-Schuster’s M.O. He himself is as much of an offensive weapon as anyone in the NFL right now.
