It looks like JuJu Smith-Schuster is taking his talents to Foxborough.
As OutKick’s Armando Salguero wrote earlier in the day, one of the top items on the New England Patriots’ to-do list was to get a wide-out to replace Jakobi Meyers who is off to Las Vegas.
So, it appears they went out and got themselves Super Bowl champ and TikTok fiend JuJu Smith-Schuster fit the bill.
