One of the NFL's more out-of-nowhere feuds is over, at least as far as Steve Smith is concerned.
The Carolina Panthers great addressed his run-in with Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy during an appearance on, apologizing for harshly denouncing the fourth-year player on national television:
The fun began before a"Thursday Night Football" game on Oct. 12, when Smith, working for NFL Network, said he had called Jeudy a"JAG" on his podcast in the past and reached out to apologize. When the two ran into each other, Smith claimed Jeudy blew him off and cursed him out, leading to Smith, never one to take slights, saying this on NFL Network:
"So if you ever got a problem with Agent 89, I'm sorry for saying you're an average wide receiver that they will eventually move on . And when teams call me and ask if they should trade for you, I would say no, don't trade for Jerry Jeudy. Because he's mentally unable to handle constructive criticism from people who watch specifically, can he be a wide receiver? He can be a wide receiver. He's a tier three.
"What I said and how I said it, it wasn't the best way how to say it. Because of that, I really didn't pay it any attention because it had come and gone. When it led up to this year, I had heard some things that it just didn't sit well with him.
