Steve Smith Sr. absolutely unloads on Jerry Jeudy pregame in KC

Long-time NFL wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. just unloaded on Denver Broncos wideout Jerry Jeudy on NFL Network, pregame in Kansas City.

Jeudy, who’s been the subject of many trade rumors in recent days, has been questioned by fans and media alike for his effort, professionalism and behavior on social media.

Smith called Jeudy on his podcast “just a guy,” and apparently that reached the rabbit ears of Jeudy. What followed was Jeudy allegedly using a slur at Smith and then telling him “I don’t mess with you.” These events apparently occurred on the field at Arrowhead moments ago.

This set Smith off, including saying that he would tell GMs not to trade for Jeudy. Take a look for yourself.

“Don’t trade for Jerry Jeudy, because he’s 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. Go back into the studio I’m done now,” Smith concluded.

This is just the latest example of Jeudy being ripped by former NFL players, including 104.3 The Fan’s Mark Schlereth earlier this week.

It appears the Broncos have a major Jeudy problem, and they can’t address it soon enough. Shipping him out of town would  be the next logical step, that is if anyone’s willing to trade for him.

We’ll see if any more drama ensues pregame, during the game or postgame.

(Update 10:25 p.m.) –

Jeudy spoke to reporters after the 19-8 loss to the Chiefs, claiming he doesn’t “remember” the incident. You can watch his response here.
