Not only was there the whirlwind of press about his bike, there was the overlooked fact that JuJu doesn't even have a driver's license, he is very proudly a bike-only guy in an age group that wouldn't usually be so overt about such. He's also pretty overt about enjoying where he is.
His quarterback had some nice words about him after his 97 yard pass/run touchdown last night in Detroit and he is growing in esteem in the public for what he does, including how much he loves his bike and riding. The videos really show why this place embraces the athletes on the pro teams since the environs are so compact that you see them all the time, like regular people. Al Villanueva, the Army grad, Ranger, Bronze Star of valor recipient, left tackle is teaching him to drive in his big truck so he can get his license.
