🏈 Ryan Clark addressed Tiki Barber’s “dead to me” statement on Saquon Barkley signing with Philadelphia.

“Tiki was one of the veterans along with Michael Strahan when I played for the @Giants & he taught me everything I refused to be as a veteran. Tiki was a very good player, but definitely not ‘just 1 of the guys’ everybody could rock with. I guess some things never change,” Clark said.

Tiki Barber responded and said Clark was saying things for attention and he doesn’t know him like that.
