The Pittsburgh Steelers are free from the distractions caused by Le’Veon Bell’s holdout and Antonio Brown’s distractions last season and are focused on football this year. JuJu Smith-Schuster and others have made that clear.
Smith-Schuster simply entered the building from a side door upon arriving at training camp on Thursday. There was no special entrance the way Brown has done the last several years. Smith-Schuster even commented on that, taking a shot at his former teammate by saying he doesn’t need the “paparazzi.”
Brinks truck, chauffeured vehicle, helicopter, hot air balloon… JuJu Smith-Schuster eschewed it all to just walk in the side door when he arrived at camp. Today, he said, “I’m coming to work. I don’t really need the paparazzi.” #Steelers

Brown’s training camp arrivals with the Steelers included chauffeurs and helicopters.
How the #Steelers #1 WR has rolled into training camp throughout the last four years. Business may have been boomin’ with Antonio Brown but JuJu is here to take care of business. pic.twitter.com/e5tGypVbie

When Brown arrived at his first training camp with the Raiders, he did so in a hot air balloon.

Brown and Smith-Schuster spent the offseason trading shots. We can only imagine this will lead to a response from the new Raiders receiver.
