Brandon Marshall and Sheldon Richardson have had a beef since they were teammates on the Jets, and the bad blood continues now that Marshall has moved on to the Giants.
A few days ago at Jets camp, Richardson shared the following assessment of the Jets locker room without Marshall.
“The locker room is a whole lot easier to get along with now,” Asked to elaborate, he smiled and said, “Man oh man, y’all are thirsty. Let’s just say I’ve got 15 reasons why it’s better.”
Marshall and Richardson have a history of shouting matches and media jabs toward each other while teammates, but Marshall surprisingly took the high road after Richardson’s latest barb.
I’m human, so,” Marshall explained. “Like I said, the first couple years of my career, more than the first couple years, really the first five years, I wasn’t responsible with the platform that we have.”
“Nah. I’m not a perfect guy, but I worked extremely hard to get in the position I am today,” he said. “The first couple years of my career was rough, and a lot of it I did myself. I hurt myself. And since that point, once I figured things out, I’ve worked extremely hard to be a better person and work extremely hard to be a better teammate, a better father, a better husband, and I’m proud of where I’m at today.
“I wake up every single day trying to make a positive impact in any room that I step into.” “You know what? That is the third or fourth time we’re going down that path. Like I said, it was a tough year for us. In the National Football League, it’s not unique.
It looks like Marshall is done with his beef with Richardson, which is a smart move. Now that he is with the Giants, it’s time to focus on his new team and move on from the past.
