I don’t think they actually dislike each other though. It seems like they get along well off the field it’s just intense during the game.
It seems like they born respect each other but will try to get into one another’s heads via gamesmanship
KeiVare Russell was a 3rd round CB that was so bad the Chiefs cut him after week 1 of the year they drafted him. Looked up his stats and he had a whopping 20 career tackles, 2 PD and one lone INT for his career.
What a waste of a pick.
I still remember a hot minute when it looked like the Chiefs had plucked an all-pro corner from the 49ers with Marcus Cooper. Monster first year with the team then never heard from again.
Alex Mack & Shaun Smith after Smith punched him in the balls during a pile.
Though probably a lot of players dislike Shaun “the nutcracker” Smith. Dude was an instigator!
