Steve Smith has never been the kind of guy who lets any form of disrespect go, but he decided to be the bigger man after initially going off on Jerry Jeudy.
Smith felt disrespected by Denver Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy, so Smith told the NFL Network audience just how he felt about him.
The former Carolina Panthers great and current NFL Network analyst said on air that he called out to Jeudy before Thursday night’s game between the Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs, but the wideout clearly let him know he didn’t care for him due to past comments.
“I’m sorry I said you were a “JAG,” just a guy, who is an average wide receiver they used a first-round pick on that isn’t doing anything,” Smith said. “I hope today you actually show up in a way you haven’t shown up in the last couple of years since they drafted you.
“So if you ever got a problem with “Agent 89,’ I’m sorry for saying you’re an average wide receiver that they will eventually move on [from]. And when teams call me and ask if they should trade for you, I would say no, don’t trade for Jerry Jeudy. Because he’s mentally unable to handle constructive criticism from people who watch specifically, can he be a wide receiver? He can be a wide receiver. He’s a tier three.”
Jeudy wouldn’t let the altercation go as he could be seen yelling and dancing behind Smith in the aftermath.

Smith Sr. explained he’s “44-years-old” and not trying to “lose his job” on why he did not confront him.
“One of the biggest problems we have in the media especially as a young black man is sometimes… black on black crime. I’m not gonna engage where the national media can see two young African American men acting like we ain’t got no sense.” “he didn’t like what I said? That’s fine. I wanted to talk to him, he didn’t like it. So we move on.”
Jeudy’s uninspiring play has drawn criticism from other former players and Jeudy hasn’t taken kindly to it.
Unfortunately, he is going about the wrong way and then he is not producing on the field.
