The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver, JuJu Smith-Schuster, is always making the most of his off time, and once again, he got to spend his day doing something we all wish we could.
According to the wide receiver, he “met God while on Earth.” That’s what he put when he met Zlatan Ibrahimović the other day. The Swedish soccer star is one of the best in the world, currently, and is becoming one of the best known athletes in the United States.
Ibrahimović signed with the LA Galaxy last season, where is now highly-regarded as the best soccer player in the MLS. For Smith-Schuster, he can add another top-tier athlete to his list after getting a jersey from the “God.”
JuJu put on Instagram that he met Ibrahimović, often as he does whenever he meets someone important. The wide receiver has built a pretty strong social media following since being draft last year. He’s one of the most active NFL players on all social media accounts, and uses his fun-loving personality to spread his adventures with the fans.
There’s still a few weeks before Smith-Schuster is back on the field. The wide receiver didn’t participate in OTAs or mini camp this season due to a knee injury. He’s expected to be on the field for training camp as the Steelers prepare for another strong season.
Right now, focus is pretty much centered on Le’Veon Bell and his contract negotiations. The team has until Monday to get a long-term deal done before the running back’s only playing option for 2018 is to sign his franchise tag.

The rest of the team is likely concerned with the outcome of the contract talks. But, JuJu Smith-Schuster isn’t going to sweat it too much. If he has time left before his season begins, we all better believe he’s going to spend it doing as many exciting things as he can fit into a three week period.
