Former New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison is being called out on social media, following his harsh comments relating to New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson on Sunday night.
The Jets faced the Kansas City Chiefs at MetLife Stadium, and Harrison was helping conduct an interview with Chiefs’ pass-rusher Chris Jones, when an awkward exchange ensued. Harrison called Wilson “garbage” and seemingly tried to coax Jones into agreeing with him.
However, Jones took the high road, while Harrison continued to hammer down on his stance.
“But watching that tape, man, you’ve got to look at this dude and say, ‘Oh, he is garbage. We should really tear him apart.'” said Harrison.

After struggling against the Patriots in Week 3, Wilson actually had a decent showing against a Chiefs team that’s widely regarded as a Super Bowl contender. He went 28-of-39 passing for 245 yards and two touchdowns in the game.
But regardless of how Wilson performed, most felt like the former Patriots legend went too far in his criticisms of the young quarterback on national television.
Let’s check out some of the reactions to the incident that have been coming through on social media.
