Bills' Allen unbothered by Jalen Ramsey calling him 'trash'
Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen said he isn't fazed by outside criticisms, including the headline-worthy one from Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who labeled him "trash."
"He's not on my team, he's not my teammate. It doesn't bother me," Allen told WGR's Sal Capaccio. "It doesn't bother me. I don't care one bit. I care about my teammates, what my teammates think about me."
The quarterback hadn't seen Ramsey's full comments when asked for his reaction to them. In an interview published Wednesday morning by GQ, Ramsey called Allen "trash" and the Bills "stupid" for drafting him seventh overall.
Allen's mix of superior physical traits but relative lack of production in college made him the most polarizing quarterback prospect in this year's draft. The 22-year-old was 9-of-19 for 116 yards and one touchdown in his preseason debut against the Carolina Panthers.
Ramsey gave similar assessments of other NFL pivots during the interview.
