The Eagles and Giants are already in mid-season form when it comes to the trash talk, and it’s coming from to little defensive backs. Earlier Tuesday, newly signed Giants cornerback Walter Thurmond made waves when he claimed to be “the best slot corner in the league.”
Thurmond went on to add a little more, when he stated that the Giants had the chance to have “the best secondary in the NFL” as well.
The Eagles have a pretty good slot corner themselves in Brandon Boykin. Boykin took to Twitter to fire his own shot and ask social media, “who is Walter Thurmond?”
But who is Walter Thurmond??

Thurmond wasn’t going for that and responded to Boykin.
I think its funny that boykins is upset about the best nickel comment when he starts on the outside! Shouldn't he have higher aspirations

Thurmond has the ring protection of a recent Super Bowl to help his trash talking cause.
This is going to be a great season.
