Memo the good folks at Jeopardy: There is one player in the NFL who can have an entire category based on his name and background.
JuJu Smith Schuster was born John Sherman Smith.
An aunt started calling him John-John.
When that didn’t take, she switched to Choo-Choo.
That became JuJu as he got older.
In college he opted to add his stepfather’s name, ergo, Smith-Schuster.
Bonus question: Who was Smith-Schuster’s youth football coach? Snoop Dogg.
Final Jeopardy question: What is Snoop Dogg’s given name? Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.
After five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Smith-Schuster signed with the Kansas City Chiefs where he will be counted on to help replace Tyreek Hill. JuJu Smith-Schuster, long name, big shoes to fill.
