Apparently Devin Bush Forgot He Plays For The Steelers

Uhhhhhhhhhh....

Giphy Images.

Devin, I know you were rehabbing most of last year when the TikTok shitstorm hit but holy jeezel do you remember who your teammates are??

At least they're on opposite sides of the ball so them being cool with each other isn't the end-all-be-all? I guess?? The defense doesn't really have anyone who is "over the top" on social media. Yeah, Minkah, TJ, Cam Heyward, Joe Haden all have socials. Hell, everyone has socials now, but as much as everyone wants to make fun of the Steelers being the TikTok team it's really only…JuJu and Claypool. With a side of Eric Ebron every now and then. 

I've long been on the side of "this is today's pro athlete so just accept it and move on" when it comes to players being prominent on social media so for me it's not really about "SEEE JUJU AND CLAYPOOL NEED TO BE OFF THAT SHIT AND FOCUS ON FOOTBALL!" but more about holy shit Devin did you not realize the situation or did you just not care?

On one hand I do appreciate this about Devin Bush. I loved when the Steelers drafted him not only for his speed and athleticism but also he just seemed like a dude who didn't give a damn and just wanted to play ball. There will be a bunch of other tweets and posts from everyone on the planet about how "this will be made into something". Well, yeah the same people who were making a story out of JuJu dancing on logos will make a story out of this. You can't not talk about it. The way JuJu and Claypool are on there it'd be like if Devin said "if you a grown man and you play wide receiver stay TF from around me". 

It's essentially the same when talking about those two. They just happen to be in the same locker room. 

Maybe this will be good in the end. Maybe it takes a teammate saying a comment like this for the TikTok nonsense to be turned off or at the very least toned down during the season and the Steelers just play ball. Maybe Big Ben will rush for 10 TDs too.
