New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson hit out on Instagram at critics of his performance in his team’s 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
Wilson recorded six receptions for 54 yards as the Jets lost at MetLife Stadium to the playoff chasing Rams but was only targeted three times in the first 55 minutes. It comes days after reports ignited speculation that he is going to demand a trade during the offseason.
Speaking after the game, Wilson cut a frustrated character, telling reporters: ‘I don’t know, to be honest with you. I just got to go out and put my best foot forward and hope that things fall my way.
‘I’d like to be involved, love to make an impact on the game, but people see it differently. That’s out of my control.’
Taking to Instagram after speaking to media, Garrett posted on his story seemingly in reference to a five-yard pass he took where he ended up being forced backwards.
He wrote: ‘You think I’m tryna be cool with that 5 yard catch???
Absolutely no, I’m tryna take that to the crib. Turn it into an explosive. Shake the whole squad/at least go our trying. You probably never understand.
‘If you mad about 2 yards just know that’s why we won’t get along.’
