This incredibly disturbing.
Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Anderson made some disturbing comments about his play that will have a direct impact on his future long after he has left the National Football League.
Anderson made a comment that if he still knew his grandkids when he was older, he didn’t play the game the right way.
“I remember a conversation in the hot tub after practice and I was like, ‘Dude, why are you going so hard all the time?’ And, this is a quote, this is verbatim, he said, ‘If I can remember my grandkids’ names then I didn’t play the game right.’ So he is a lunatic. He has the mentality to play the inside linebacker position.”
Hudson also said that Anderson is one of the hardest hitters he has ever met:
“Of the people that were on the team when I was there in 2018, I don’t think anybody hits harder than Ryan Anderson. I’ve heard him call himself the billygoat, the bulldog and the ram. And he would frequently yell those things at me after he would spear me in the chest,” Hudson said.
