Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore threw some shade at Jaguars corner Jalen Ramsey during an interview with 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Zolak & Bertrand on Wednesday. Watch above for Ramsey’s response.
One of the NFL’s most outspoken players, Ramsey didn’t seem too bothered by Gilmore’s comment about “zone guys” who have more energy to talk trash like he does.
“I mean we know that’s furthest from the truth,” said Ramsey on Thursday. “I’m gonna continue to do what the team asks me to do, either man or zone. Maybe he should try it, I was All-Pro [in 2017].”
Despite throwing a bit of a jab back Gilmore’s way, Ramsey seemed to take it all in stride. He was actually confused about hearing it from another cornerback.
“I never understood why someone on the same side of the ball would hate on someone, usually we’re going against the opponent,” said Ramsey. “Maybe I’m a threat or something.
“It’s lame, it’s corny. But that’s him, though.”
At the end of the day, this won’t affect what happens on the field. Unless, perhaps, Gilmore or Ramsey try their hand at wide receiver…
