Giants’ Janoris Jenkins rips critics in Tweetstorm

The New York Giants are a laughingstock, their defense can’t stop a semi-pro team and veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins has reached capacity when it comes to silently absorbing the blame.

And perhaps rightfully so.

Since a Week 3 disaster against Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans, Jenkins has been on a tear. In fact, he’s arguably been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL with Pro Football Focus data to back it up.

But playing well isn’t satisfying Jenkins and on Wednesday, he wanted to make sure everyone on Twitter knew he was dominating.

Unfortunately for Jenkins, who was sending these tweets as he received work on his injured ankle and his teammates practiced, he couldn’t stop himself from taking it a step further, eventually calling a Giants fan a derogatory name out of frustration.

As well as Jenkins has played, this is not a good look for him or the Giants organization — and it’s not the first time he’s sent some regrettable tweets.

So much for improving the culture in East Rutherford.
