JuJu Smith-Schuster is staying busy this offseason. A student at a local high school asked JuJu if he would attend prom with him after his date broke up with him just before the event, and the talented wide receiver said yes. Smith-Schuster showed up at prom with the student and even wore a matching suit. Reportedly, the students regaled him with an expletive-laden chant about former teammate Antonio Brown after Brown trashed Smith-Schuster shortly after he was traded to Oakland.

Jim Delaney is set to retire after 31 years as Big Ten Commissioner a year from now, and the conference did not waste any time in selecting its new commissioner. Minnesota Vikings COO Kevin Warren has been tabbed to fill Delaney’s role, making him the first African-American commissioner of a Power Five Conference. Warren already made history as the first African-American COO in NFL history, so he has experience being a groundbreaker.
Minnesota Vikings’ chief operating officer Kevin Warren is expected to be introduced Tuesday as the next commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, sources told ESPN’s Mark Schlabach and me. Warren, 55, would become the first African-American commissioner of a Power Five conference.

The GOAT is a relative newcomer to Twitter, but he is already building a reputation as one of the best player accounts in the game. Tom Brady isn’t a prolific Tweeter, so when he decides to have some fun, everyone notices. His response to Baker Mayfield’s answer about how many kids he could take on if he was attacked by a group at a camp is classic Brady.
You’re selling yourself short. Gotta escape the pocket, reset, and take out 8-10 at a time. https://t.co/9rEr4Cnzl1
