Jalen Ramsey, as he tends to do, had plenty to say heading into Sunday’s game between the Rams and Steelers. Specifically, he was asked about the matchup with Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and dismissed the third-year pro as “not Antonio Brown.”
Well, Smith-Schuster wasn’t too bothered by the jab from Ramsey. In fact, he shut the Rams cornerback’s talk down by agreeing with him.
Speaking to reporters after the Steelers’ 17-12 win over the Rams, Smith-Schuster was asked about Ramsey’s trash talk and their matchup in the game. Again, Smith-Schuster didn’t take issue with Ramsey’s attempted slight and explained that he’ll never try to be Antonio Brown.
JuJu agreed with Jalen Ramsey’s pre-game assessments that he’s not AB.

Smith-Schuster said:
“Definitely not. He’s right, though. I’m not Antonio Brown. I’ll never be Antonio Brown. I am myself. I’m JuJu Smith-Schuster. I’m not as good as him (Brown) yet. I still think I have time to proceed to get to his level.”
Oh, and about the experience of matching up with Ramsey? It doesn’t get much better than JuJu’s description. He said that Ramsey used so many cuss words that he had never heard of.

Ramsey did have a solid game — even in the loss. Smith-Schuster was held to just 44 yards on three receptions and six targets. But JuJu will take the win in both the game and the postgame.
