Bengals CB Adam Jones is the latest NFL player to publicly hate ‘garbage’ Terrelle Pryor

Adam Jones and the Cincinnati Bengals’ secondary limited Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor to just one reception for 3 yards in a 23-10 win on Sunday. Rather than let his play speak for itself, the often brash cornerback made sure the world knew how little he thought about the versatile Cleveland wideout.

Jones avoided questions about the game itself during the postgame media scrum. Instead, he took every opportunity he could to lay into Pryor. The veteran defensive back hit everything from the receiver’s upbringing to his career in the NFL.

He also railed against Pryor’s hometown. “I looked up his background,” said Jones. “He’s a suburban kid from Pittsburgh. Stop acting hard.”

Pryor grew up in Jeanette, Penn., 45 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. The relatively small city isn’t exactly known as a rich suburb — the median household income in Jeanette was only $31,498 in 2011.

Jones clarified the motivation behind his hate moments later.

“He’s just arrogant,” Jones told the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Jim Owczarski. You could see it with his teammates. Did you all not see him, when he was pushing and cussing at RGIII on the field? So I pay attention to everything. I told RGIII how the (expletive) you going to throw him the ball when he’s talking to you like that. You’re the (expletive) quarterback.

“It’s just little things.”

Dre Kirkpatrick also joined in on the fun, repeating Pryor’s stat line — “one catch, three yards” to reporters whenever he had the chance after the game.

Jones isn’t the first player this season to tee off on the wideout. Janoris Jenkins used Twitter to tell Pryor he “sucks” and was a “sh*t eater.” Pryor brushed off the comments with kind words for the Giants cornerback.

Colts punter Pat McAfee also got in on the action, giving Pryor a “child please” after the Brown compared him to Raiders punter Marquette King.

Pryor doesn’t seem especially incendiary, but he’s spent a solid amount of time this season dealing with extremely public taunts and insults from opponents. With games against the Bills, Chargers, and Steelers coming up, he’ll have the opportunity to light a few more fires — and start a few more Twitter beefs — just by showing up.
