Following the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, there's been some trash talk on social media between JuJu Smith-Schuster, AJ Brown and other players.
On Valentine's Day, the Twitter page "NFL_Memes" tweeted memes of Valentine's Day cards of NFL players. One of those cards featured Eagles cornerback James Bradberry and Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
The caption read, "I'll hold you when it matters most," referring to Bradberry's late pass-interference call on Smith-Schuster that led to the Chiefs' Super Bowl-winning touchdown.

JuJu Smith-Schuster tweeted the picture, which caused Brown to respond maliciously.
He said to Smith-Schuster:
"First off congratulations. Y’all deserve it. This is lame. You was on the way out the league before Mahomes resurrected your career on your 1 year deal Tik-Tok boy. He admitted that he grabbed you but don’t act like you're like that or ever was. But congratulations again!"
Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill spoke about the beef on his podcast and thinks the two need to settle their beef in a "verzuz-type" battle.
Verzuz is a one-on-one battle between two rappers rapping their best lyrics to one another.
Hill thinks they should settle it by showing their best plays against one another.
Hill said:
"How you gonna start a fire and then want to play victim? I can see if you start a fire. And then you just you stay in the fire. Talk trash back. But you didn't do. We need a verzuz battle. JuJu Smith-Schuster verzuz AJ Brown. Verzuz battle. Best plays versus best plays. You know how they do the rappers? That's how they should do it."
Comparing AJ Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster's careers
If AJ Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster ever do have a hypothetical verzuz battle showcasing their best plays, it would be close, with Brown likely coming out on top.
In two fewer seasons, Brown has six more career touchdowns (36) than Smith-Schuster (30) and has a much higher yards per catch average of 16.5 compared to 11.9.
Brown is a two-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro, while Smith-Schuster has one Pro Bowl selection.
Smith-Schuster does have two 97-yard touchdown receptions, while Brown has a 91-yarder and a key touchdown reception in Super Bowl LVII.
It would be an interesting battle to see between the two receivers.
