Sports and social media don’t always mix.
Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan knows that all too well, having gotten into more than his fair share of back-and-forth scuffles with other players on Twitter.
He’s done well on the field for the team, though, and was a big part of the Titans’ turnaround after he got his act together and stopped committing so many penalties after he returned from suspension.
Former Titans offensive guard Steve Hutchinson is impressed with what Lewan has accomplished, but thinks he needs to keep some of his thoughts he’s posted to social media to himself.
“Athletically, I don’t know if there’s a guy who can touch him,” Hutchinson said, via Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky. “He’s kind of a freak that way.”
Lewan didn’t take too long to come up with a response — on a platform none other than Twitter.
It was far from the type of aggressiveness we’ve seen him use toward some others in the past, though.
“Appreciate the nice words on the radio show today and also some words you and I both know are true,” Lewan wrote, followed by a string of crying-laughing emojis.
The Titans and Lewan will look to make another run for the Super Bowl — hopefully filled with less social media drama than last season — in 2020.
