Jamal Agnew Responds to Critics on Social Media
Now that it is the offseason, there are more opportunities for National Football League players to cash in on "receipts" against their vocal online critics.
On Thursday, Detroit Lions wide receiver and return specialist Jamal Agnew took some time to respond to his critics via social media.
A particularly interesting exchange occurred with a local blogger who covers the team.
After discovering that Agnew had replied to his criticism, he then proceeded to invite the fourth-year pro to play video games and to join him on his podcast.
Agnew declined in a less than polite manner.
In 2020, Agnew was close on numerous occasions to breaking a return for a touchdown.
The elusive touchdown return occurred against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as Agnew flew past punter Bradley Pinion for a 74-yard touchdown.
“I mean, unfortunately, we were down 40 to nothing (before the touchdown return). But, we’re still trying to make an impact, make plays on special teams. I’m just happy I got to make that play for the team and give us a little bit of juice," Agnew said.
The touchdown was the only score Detroit had on the afternoon.
Below is a sample of Agnew's retort to online critics:
