Plaxico Burress rips Cris Carter for telling NFL rookies to have a ‘fall guy’

The former NFL star receiver voiced his dismay at the Hall of Famer’s words.

Cris Carter has certainly felt a lot of criticism for his “fall guy” comment at the 2014 NFL Rookie Symposium surfacing this past weekend, with former NFL receiver Plaxico Burress voicing his candid perspective on it Monday evening. In reference to his arrest for shooting himself in a New York City night club in 2008, Burress chimed in on Twitter to express something that he didn’t have in wake of Carter’s words.

Burress even went on to re-tweet his own tweets to make sure his point got across.

And just if you thought he was retweeting by accident, he made sure to show that he meant those re-tweets of his words.
