This NFL Player Tried A TikTok Challenge And The Internet Isn't Happy

On the way down the milk crates Smith-Schuster, 24, can be heard saying, "Aw, this isn't bad." Then he makes it back to the ground to a small audience's claps and cheers.

The video dismayed some, including The Fan Morning Show's Chris Mack from Pittsburg's 93.7 the Fan who posted the video on Twitter with the tweet, "What in the hell is JuJu thinking? C'mon man." Another person tweeted that Smith-Schuster doing the milk crate challenge was "uncalled for and dangerous" and a third man pleaded, "Juju do not do milk crate challenge no more. Season 'bout to start. We need u on [the] field [not] in the hospital so stop doing crazy s***." 

Because of the possible dangers to those who fail the challenge, TikTok banned videos of people trying the milk crate challenge on their platform on August 27, saying, "TikTok prohibits content that promotes or glorifies dangerous acts, and we remove videos and redirect searches to our Community Guidelines to discourage such content. We encourage everyone to exercise caution in their behavior whether online or off," Tech Crunch reported. 

The Steelers are slated to kick off their new football season on September 12 against Buffalo Bills. Smith-Schuster is listed as a starter on the roster, per CBS Sports
