The Denver Broncos went against the San Francisco 49ers in the Week 3 game. Denver was declared the winner by a close margin score of 11-10. Although the team won, there are areas where they can improve. One of those is the number of dropped passes by receivers. The legendary tight end and NFL analyst Shannon Sharpe could not stop himself from giving his two cents about Jerry Jeudy’s performance. Or rather Sharpe could not stop criticizing the wide receiver of the Broncos for dropping the ball.

Every play counts. But somehow this phrase did not apply to the performance of Jeudy. Denver dropped many passes. A long pass through the center of the field that was intercepted by receiver Jerry Jeudy was the biggest mistake ever made, which could have been a touchdown. The Hall of Famer TE pointed out how crucial of a ball the WR dropped. However, the 23-year-old did not hold himself back and made a snide reply to Sharpe’s comment.

The former Denver Broncos TE wrote on his Twitter: “Jeudy does all this route running in the off season…” Did the young receiver let the veteran slip that easily with that comment? No.

He made a snide comment but quickly deleted his response for the three-time Super Bowl champion analyst. But it is highly possible that Sharpe will not let Jeudy get away with the mean remark.

In 2016, a piece of shocking news struck Sharpe. Without the world knowing, he was battling prostate cancer. After a routine checkup, he got to know that he was suffering from prostate cancer, which ran in his family.
