Kareem Hunt's Father Latest To Take Shots At Baker Mayfield

Nov 29, 2021 9:43 PM

After struggling against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, Baker Mayfield was criticized on social media by a teammate's family member once again.

Mayfield's play was criticized by Odell Beckham, Sr. prior to his son being released by the Browns earlier this month. On Sunday, it was Kareem Hunt's father that took to social media.

Hunt, Sr. took shots at Mayfield while also saying he's nothing like Beckham's father.

"Now I'm getting people on my Facebook saying I'm being like OBJ's daddy, and I'm not," said Kareem Hunt Sr. on Facebook. "I'm stating facts on football and what we see: he's limping, he's scared to throw the ball and they know he's hurt. [They're] going to keep listening but, if people don't like what I'm saying, unfriend me. I'm not jeopardizing nothing. 

"I got a right to speak. I ain't posting no videos. Have a good day. Go Browns, hopefully."

Jarvis Landry: Odell Beckham Departure 'Stung'

Nov 17, 2021 8:50 AM

Jarvis Landry has admitted that it "stung" when the Cleveland Browns released Odell Beckham, Jr. earlier this month.

Landry added that he wasn't sure why it didn't work out between Beckham and the Browns.

"Definitely was something that hurt," Landry said.

Beckham essentially forced his release when his father shared an 11-minute video on social media -- hours before the trade deadline -- of plays in which Baker Mayfield didn't pass Beckham the ball or missed when he was open.

"I haven't been able to get the ball so much, either," said Landry, when asked about a left knee sprain that kept him out of four games earlier this season. "But at the end of the day I've been able to [make the most] with the opportunities I'm given. Yeah, I'm battling some things, but on Sundays I always give everything I have. And that will never change."
