Marquez Valdes-Scantling has had a hard time finding his footing in the Kansas City Chiefs offense this season. The sixth-highest-paid player on the team, Valdes-Scantling has produced just 17 catches for 273 yards and one touchdown through 12 games in 2023.
Digital sports reporter P.J. Green of FOX4 News Kansas City asked Valdes-Scantling about his recent struggles on Friday in the Chiefs locker room and was met with a flippant response from the veteran wide receiver. Valdes-Scantling was dismissive of the line of questioning, indicating that he didn’t know what Green was asking about.

“I don’t really know what you’re referring to,” Valdes-Scantling replied when asked about the dropped balls that have cost Kansas City valuable positioning in the AFC playoff race. “It is what it is. It’s football, [you’re] not going to make every play. It’s not really anything going on that doesn’t happen in any other season, that doesn’t happen to any other player in this league.”
Chiefs fans on social media had a field day with the former South Flordia Bull’s comment, especially after he replied to Green’s video on Twitter.
You’re better than this PJ. Fishing for whatever answer you were chasing is not the best form of journalism. I’m disappointed in your lack of understanding, and the lack of research and effort that you put into your questions with me today. So my demeanor was directed at you.
