Former Steeler Nate Washington wasn't impressed with Antonio Brown's recent assessment of JuJu Smith-Schuster.
After Smith-Schuster posted career lows in receptions (42) yards (552) and touchdowns (three) during his first season as the Steelers' No. 1 wide receiver, Brown took to Twitter for some extra-petty fun.

Yeah, that.
Washington — who was signed as an undrafted free agent and played his first four seasons in the NFL with the Steelers, winning two Super Bowls in the process — saw Brown's tweet.
And he didn't hold back with his reaction.
AB lost alllllllll respect‼️You talkin bout JuJu like he get into beef! Boy like playing video games! Take yo lost childhood, no real friends ass on!
Boys pull the weakest moves when they sit in the dark. I bet the jugs machine don’t even wanna throw to that boy! #HellaWeak

Washington's right on every level (and props for the "I bet the jugs machine don't even wanna throw to that boy!" line. Solid.) Brown's tweet was ridiculous.
Before the season started, Smith-Schuster said this regarding Brown:
“I liked him as a role model, and that situation, I didn’t want it to end like that. I have no hard feelings against him. Obviously, if we’re ever in the same room, I’m going to say ‘what’s up’ to him. I think hatred is a huge word to use against somebody. At the end of the day, he is a great player. He comes out every day. He has work ethic. He worked hard.”
Quite the contrast, eh?
Sure, Smith-Schuster is coming off a brutal year plagued by poor performance, injuries and an overall broken offensive system with the Steelers.
But he still has a job in the NFL, something Brown still can't claim.
