If we’ve learned anything from Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster’s two years in the NFL, it’s that he’s one of the most entertaining players to watch both on and off the field.
And Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots only further proved why the star wide receiver should be given this year’s MVP award. (RELATED: Steelers Star Juju Smith-Schuster Reveals The Last Time He Spoke To Le’Veon Bell)
Shortly before he put up 100 yards against Bill Belichick and company, JuJu stopped to fuel up with the fans.

But he didn’t take any of the credit for himself. He congratulated his team’s defense for their performance and took the time to shout out Belichick — because he’s a team player.
Crazy to have Coach Belichick, a legendary coach I’ve watched my whole life, come up to me after the game and tell me he respects my game and how I play!!!

It’s not clear exactly what Belichick said to or about JuJu, but the Pats head coach reportedly went up to the rising Steelers star to congratulate him on the win shortly after the final whistle.
Even JuJu’s Instagram-famous dog, Boujee, congratulated him on his win:
Let’s face it, if a dog and Bill Belichick can agree on a player, it’s probably safe to say they deserve some kind of recognition.
