“He a little boy” – Jaire Alexander takes aim at Stefon Diggs after pair got into it during Packers vs Bills
Heading into the matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills, many claimed a key in-game battle would be between Stefon Diggs and Jaire Alexander.
Alexander knew that as well, as the cornerback was spotted speaking to the wide receiver as both players came onto the field. It was a quick exchange and the Green Bay star spun around while jogging past him in the tunnel.
Alexander was asked what the exchange was about after the game and he revealed that he was talking trash to Diggs. Here's what he said, according to a video clip posted by Matt Parrino on Twitter:
“I told him he couldn’t mess with me and he a little boy so that's all that was. Just being honest, you feel me? That's all I can do.”
