Back in May, Steelers wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster signed a four-year, $4.19 million contract that included a $1.19 million signing bonus before he was legally able to drink alcohol. At just 20 years old, the USC product is the youngest player in the entire league.

The Steelers rookie has used exactly zero dollars of that contract to buy a vehicle. Instead, he bikes to practice, because he doesn’t have a license. That all changed earlier this week when JuJu took to Twitter to reveal that someone had stolen his bike.

With a little community policing, the bike was returned to JuJu via the Mt. Oliver Police Department.

On Thursday, the USC standout revealed a custom pair of yellow and black cleats that illustrates the bike saga in artistic fashion.

Smith-Schuster will rock his new spikes in Detroit’s on Sunday night as he looks to score a team-leading four touchdowns. A new star has been born in the NFL.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
