After the Denver Broncos agreed to trade wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns earlier this month, a former player blasted Jeudy on social media.
“[H]e’s just not a great football player,” Mark Schlereth said in a video on his Twitter/X page. “Doesn’t run secondary routes well to attract coverage, drops the football, doesn’t block. Good riddance! Listen, that is not the kind of player you need here in Denver to rebuild this thing. I’m more than glad he’s gone. But I’ll tell you this, I’ll never forget you Jimmy Jeudy.”
Schlereth, who now works for 104.3 The Fan and Fox Sports, played guard for the Broncos from 1995-2000. A two-time Pro Bowler and a member of the Broncos’ 50th Anniversary Team, Schlereth won three Super Bowls during his 12-year career in the NFL. He’s now a pundit, and he’s never afraid to speak his mind.
Jeudy was seemingly off of social media for a few weeks but once he returned, he was ready with a response for Schlereth.
Schlereth, of course, clapped back.
Jeudy said he expected Schlereth to “come back harder” than he did.
And then Schlereth put a bow on the conversation with Jeudy.
The beef with Jeudy ended there, but Schlereth continued beefing with fans in his mentions.
Jeudy, 24, will get a fresh start in Cleveland after four disappointing seasons in Denver. Broncos fans — and Schlereth — will be eager to see if the receiver can turn his career around with the Browns.
