Instagram post about Stephon Gilmore kicks off feud between DeVante Parker, Michael Thomas

Stephon Gilmore accidentally found himself in the middle of an Instagram feud between DeVante Parker and Michael Thomas.

Gilmore, a New England Patriots cornerback and reigning Defensive Player of the Year, was featured on FOX Sports’ Instagram alongside Thomas, the top receiver in the NFL for receptions and receiving yards.

Parker had an impressive final game on Gilmore in Week 17 with eight catches for 137 yards, and yet he argued on Instagram that catching a ball on Gilmore was harder than stopping Thomas.
