Taylor Lewan and Micah Parsons tore into Rodney Harrison Monday over the heavy criticism of Zach Wilson.

Harrison laughed when Chris Jones called Wilson a special player in an interview after the Kansas City Chiefs-New York Jets game on Sunday night. Harrison also claimed the Jets’ quarterback was garbage.

Lewan came to Wilson’s defense and praised Jones for standing up for the quarterback in an interview with Kay Adams. Lewan hosts the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast with former Nebraska linebacker Will Compton.

“That was wild amirite? Sitting there with Chris Jones, who by the way, I need to give some flowers to Chris Jones. I am a big fan of that man both on the field and off the field. He’s a great individual and he handled that situation perfectly. Like we kind of talked about before, Taylor Swift has brought such a wild amount of eyes to the National Football League, that already gets so many eyes week in and week out.

“He’s literally a kid. He’s a child. He’s 23, 24 years old…I just don’t see the reason. Like you kind of look at it and you walk away from the situation going, ‘Why? Why would you do that?’”

 

Parsons also weighed in and said that what happened to Wilson wasn’t right. He wished Wilson the best.

“To me bro, that’s just not right,” Parsons said during his Bleacher Report live show, The Edge. “I always keep my faith in God and I’m just gonna keep this real with you. I truly believe that we are not one judge. We cannot keep saying someone’s garbage, saying who’s special, who’s not special.

“Zach, I hope you win. I really hope you win. I hope you grow into the player that no one thinks that you can grow into bro, because there’s a lot of people that’s hatin’ on you, brother. Hall of Famers, ex-pro players, which makes no sense. I get we all love the game of football, but at the end of the day, we have to remember that Zach is a human being. Zach is a human. We don’t use our platform to degrade other players. We use our platform to uplift people. We use our platform to talk good about people…Every person in this world just needs someone to believe in them, OK?”

This is classy stuff from Lewan and Parsons.
