JuJu Smith-Schuster is not buying Vontaze Burfict’s excuse for his PED excuse.
Burfict is facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s drug policy, but according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he’s planning to base his rebuttal on the argument that he was prescribed medication for a concussion stemming from a hit by Smith-Schuster.
The Steelers receiver found this to be hilarious.

You can see the hit in question here. It did net Smith-Schuster a one-game suspension, but while it certainly may have caused problems for Burfict, it doesn’t seem like an excuse that will hold up when it comes to a drug suspension.
