JuJu Smith-Schuster is not only a Super Bowl champion, but he made some crazy money at the same time.
The Kansas City Chiefs receiver triggered a hefty incentive during Super Bowl LVII Sunday, but he had no clue about it. Smith-Schuster took part in 50% of the offensive snaps during the Chiefs’ 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, granting him a cool $1 million bonus.
The sixth-year wideout found out after the game while making an appearance on NFL Network. His reaction was everything.
“Cha-ching, Cha-ching,” he said.
After his career in Pittsburgh ended, the 26-year-old inked a one-year deal worth $1.35 million with Kansas City last offseason that came with a $1.5 million signing bonus. He led all Chiefs receivers this season with 78 catches on 101 targets for 933 yards and three scores.
In the Super Bowl, he hauled in seven receptions for 53 yards.

That call allowed the Chiefs to get a fresh set of downs and drive more time off the clock. Kicker Harrison Butker connected on a 27-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining to give the Chiefs the victory.
