“You don’t know what a guy is thinking,” he continued. “You don’t know if a guy is staying up and he’s continuing to run. You don’t know, and then you get a late slide and you hit the guy. Unfortunate that Trevor got hurt. Hope Trevor is OK, but also if we’re sliding, we have to get down.” Later in his post on X, Al-Shaair said he understood why Jacksonville’s players came to the defense of Lawrence in the brawl following the hit.But Ryans criticized the response of the Jaguars after the hit.
“To the rest of the people who I’ve been called every single name in the book from reporters with their hands ready for a story to find their villain, to racist and Islamophobic fans and people, you don’t know heart nor my character which I don’t need to prove to any of you,” he wrote. “God knows my intentions and anyone who has ever been a teammate or friend of mine knows my heart.”
He was fined earlier this year after he punched Bears running back Roschon Johnson on the sideline in Week 2. That occurred during a scuffle that started after his hard shot on quarterback Caleb Williams near the sideline wasn’t flagged.
