The NFL offseason has officially moved onto its next phase: Twitter beef between All-Pro cornerbacks.The heated debate was ignited when former Patriots and Eagles CB Asante Samuel took i sue with Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner being ranked as the at his position by players, coaches, executives and scouts. Samuel blamed the “New York media” for overhyping Gardner’s rookie season.”The New York media will take your career to another level,” Samuel wrote.The New York media will take your career to another level Asante Samuel (@pick_six22) Gardner was named a member of Quay Walker Jersey the All-Pro First Team alongside Surtain last season, so it’s no surprise to see the pair ranked as the top two cornerbacks in the league. It seems Samuel doesn’t believe Gardner deserved that honor, either, as he claimed Seattle’s Tariq Woolen had a better rookie season.MORE Elgton Jenkins Jersey : That wasn’t it for Samuel, though. When another user criticized the media for likening Gardner to Jets great Darrelle Revis, he came for Revis as well.”What did Revis do so special,” Samuel said, again blaming “the NY media” for inflating his achievements. Revis was a four-time All-Pro and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in February in his first year of eligibility.Revis took his Isaiah McDuffie Jersey own shot at Samuel, calling the former Patriot “a hater” and describing how Rex Ryan would tell Jets receivers how easy it was to beat Samuel with a double move. just landed. Hear we go smh I really dont know much about this guy. never was inspired to watch his film but something does jog my memory. I do remember we played Falcons + Rex Ryan made a highlight clip of him being doubled moved on almost every single Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) quit being a hater when it comes to young rising stars @ the cornerback position. be mad @ the Juwann Winfree Jersey voters who never considered you shutdown. Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) , telling Samuel, “You gots to relax.” In a separate tweet, he pointed out that the list was voted on by players and coaches rather than the media.The tweet literally says those were the cornerback rankings by PLAYERS, EXECUTIVES, SCOUTS, & COACHES Im trynna figure out why you keep bringing up NY Media SAUCE GARDNER (@iamSauceGardner) MORE: The biggest disconnect seems to be Samuel’s emphasis on interceptions. Heresponded to one fan’s criticism by posting a screenshot of his career interception total, which was 51, and challenged Gardner to “turn some of those pa s break up to interceptions this year.”Samuel, the father of Chargers CB Asante Samuel Jr., appeared to put himself in the same category as Deion Sanders in a follow-up tweet.”Me and LeRoy Butler Jersey Coach Prime need to set the standards this shit is getting out of control,” . “How disrespectful.”If Gardner was feeling complacent at all after a shutdown rookie season, Jets fans can thank Samuel for shaking those feelings off.
