Matt Elam has made very few fans in his three years at Kentucky. It appears Greg McElroy is not one of them.

The former Alabama quarterback, covering SEC Media Days for the SEC Network, ripped into the former five-star defensive tackle for what he perceived as a lack of effort from the Kentucky senior.

“This defensive line, they need to be issued the challenge because this was an embarrassing effort last year, particularly the former five-star Matt Elam who’s lazy and as underachieving a player as I’ve seen in this league in some time,” he said during Tuesday’s segment on the “season outlook” for the Cats.
