And we thought the NBA was full of petty. Following Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey’s blistering attack on multiple NFL quarterbacks in a recent GQ Magazine interview, other players have started to respond to the boisterous Pro Bowler.
That includes Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate, who defended Matthew Stafford from the criticism Ramsey directed at him.
Apparently, Tate’s response didn’t sit well with Ramsey’s agent, David Mulugheta of Athletes First.
@ShowtimeTate come on man, I know you guys won and all but your stat line wasn’t much better than mine that game pic.twitter.com/ZtBTZit9LK

Tate’s previous comment touched on his Lions defeating Ramsey and the Jaguars back in 2016, at which point the Jags corner was seen on the bench crying.
Not one to lose out on a chance at clapping back, Mulugheta focuses on how Tate put up a combined 21 yards in that game.
Like clockwork, Tate himself decided to respond. It was met with this pretty legit note from Ramsey’s now talkative agent.
All the above. https://t.co/24rmyp8p1k

One thing is rather clear here. As much as Ramsey has had a target on his back over the course of his young career, that’s going to be magnified even further in 2018.
Some might not like the game he talks. That’s fine. But he certainly backs it up on the field. That won’t stop others from clowning one of the NFL’s best corners when he allows a big play this season.
