A post about New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner prompted some trash talk between a pair of former Patriots cornerbacks.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler ranked Gardner as the second-best cornerback in the NFL. Samuel saw a tweet about the ranking and commented that Gardner’s ranking got a boost from the fact that he plays in New York.
“The New York media will take your career to another level,” Samuel said.
A Twitter user replied to Samuel’s comment, saying that the media treats Gardner like he’s on the same level as Darrelle Revis, the Hall-of-Fame cornerback who played the bulk of his career with the Jets, but won a Super Bowl with the Patriots in 2014.
