Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has reacted to the prospect of Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown sharing the field. For months, Chiefs fans have been dreaming of the impact the lineup will have on the offense with Patrick Mahomes dictating play.

Last season, Brown came in as a free-agent signing to join Rice and Worthy.

However, the dream started becoming distant just a play into the Chiefs’ first 2024 preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brown left the game with a shoulder injury that sidelined him for months. Rice followed him to the infirmary after a few weeks when he suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Their debut together got further postponed when, at the start of this season, Rice accepted a six-game suspension by the NFL for a road-racing incident in Dallas.

JuJu Smith-Schuster talked about the possibilities of the trio during his postgame locker room interview on Sunday:

“I’m so excited, man! I’m so excited. Those guys in camp. … To see those three guys on the offense will be very dangerous and very scary for a lot of defenses.”

Chiefs coach Andy Reid is also excited ahead of the next game:

JuJu Smith-Schuster faces potential charge following postgame brawl

JuJu Smith-Schuster was involved in a postgame brawl on Sunday during the Chiefs’ win against the Detroit Lions. The wide receiver was hit by Lions safety Brian Branch, who faces a fine from the league.

Branch said in his postgame interview that Smith-Schuster had illegally blocked him during the game, fueling his anger and eventual outburst:

“I got blocked in the back illegally. It was in front of the ref, and the ref didn’t do anything. And stuff like that, I could have got hurt off of that play.”

If a possible review by the league on the alleged hit finds it illegal, the Chiefs receiver may be liable for a fine of $17,389.
