JuJu Smith-Schuster had a busy weekend.Â
On Friday, the Steelers wide receiver went to Chartiers Valley Prom when a student there asked him to attend. Donning a velvet blue tuxedo, he walked onto stage and posed for pictures, WPXI reported.
On Saturday, he visited Kennywood where he passed out Heinz ketchup. The amusement park recently switched from serving the hometown favorite Heinz to Hunt’s.
“He walked over to where people were sitting enjoying their fries and asked who would like some real ketchup with their fries,” one park-goer told KDKA.
So if you were wondering if it was possible for Pittsburgh to love #TeamJuJu more, the answer is yes.

Ever wonder why “The T” is called that?
You’re probably like, “it’s because of trolley, duh.” Well, we found out that’s not the case.
In the first entry of our Pittsburghpedia series, we’re debunking that myth, explaining why our light-rail system goes by just one letter, and looking ahead to why it might get a new name in the future. We vote for Trolley McTrolleyface (kidding).
One more thing ...
While the school year is coming to a close for local kids, it’s just getting started for Pittsburgh Police dog Zane. He’s headed to obedience school wearing a bear backpack, looking unBEARably adorable, and serving up your Monday morning moment of cuteness.
See you back here bright and early, backpacks on and ready to go.
