After the Buffalo Bills' 24-10 loss to the New York Giants last season, cornerback Stephon Gilmore didn't hold back when The News asked him about Odell Beckham Jr. He was blunt, honest and his biting words were heard loud and clear in New Jersey.
In that game, of course, Beckham threw several punches that ticked off Bills defenders. And Gilmore, one of the most soft-spoken corners in the game, called the wide receiver a "prima donna."
“I don’t know what’s up with him," Gilmore said then. "He acts like nobody’s supposed to hit him and you’re supposed to let him catch the ball. He’s weird. He gets mad when you play physical with him. He’s weird.
“He’s different. It’s kind of like you’re playing your little brother and he gets mad at you for being too physical with him — throwing a tantrum. I’m like, ‘Man, we’re playing football. It’s a physical game. ... He’s a prima donna. He feels like he’s on top of the world and nobody’s supposed to do anything to him."

What a fantastic response, kudos to Gilmore.
