Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey got into a heated exchange with Steve Smith Sr. as the two had to be separated on the field after the Baltimore Raven's 19-17 win last Sunday. Ramsey did a post-game interview that went viral due to his "sassy" attitude and bold demeanor.
"Ya'll tell me who got in whose head," Ramsey said. "He came up to me after the game; you feel me? Y'all tell me who got in whose head. He's an old man acting like that."
Smith has been known to get into his fair share of altercations throughout his NFL career, but the rookie did not back down.
"Ain't nobody worried about him. He came up to me; you know what I'm saying, on some disrespectful stuff," said Ramsey. "The game's over with. You still mad 'cause I was locking you up? All right, go sleep on that. I ain't trying to hear that after the game. It is what it is. As a player, he's still a good player. I'll say that about him. But I don't respect him as a man."
Smith fired back at Ramsey in two tweets posted later Sunday evening, proclaiming, "I got cleats with stronger thread [than] you!!!"
As the video went viral, some people made jokes questioning Ramsey's sexuality while others were surprised a rookie had such confidence and was so outspoken. Ramsey says he believes rookies need to keep quiet until they accomplish something.
"I’m a confident dude," Ramsey said. "I’m a dude who’s going to bring passion. That’s how I play the game. I’m going to play with all my heart. I’m not backing down from nobody, no matter who you are. That’s just who I am. People are going to have their opinions on it. You might like it. You might not like it. It’s not going to affect me. I’m going to act the same way I act."
