Stephon Gilmore accidentally found himself in the middle of an Instagram feud between DeVante Parker and Michael Thomas.
Gilmore, a New England Patriots cornerback and reigning Defensive Player of the Year, was featured on FOX Sports’ Instagram alongside Thomas, the top receiver in the NFL for receptions and receiving yards. There was a question about what’s harder to do: catch a pass on Gilmore or stop Thomas from catching a pass. Parker had an impressive final game on Gilmore in Week 17 with eight catches for 137 yards, and yet he argued on Instagram that catching a ball on Gilmore was harder than stopping Thomas.
Apparently, that didn’t sit well with Thomas. Here’s the original post.
And here’s a look at their exchange.

Gilmore had no part in their argument, except that his mere presence seems to have incidentally kicked off the heated exchange.
