Former Steelers Great Ryan Clark Has Intense Feud On Twitter With Browns Bust

Former players of the Pittsburgh Steelers as well as all other 31 teams often jump into the media world shortly after their retirements. It's a very common post-football goal that many have to stay involved in the game they love without putting their bodies on the line each and every week. One of the most outspoken and respected analysts since he retired after the 2014 season is ESPN's, Ryan Clark. The Super Bowl Champion was a key part of a dominant defense that played in the big game two times after he joined Pittsburgh in 2006.

Clark keeps it real on air. He even had several negative words for Head Coach, Mike Tomlin early on in the 2022 season when the team was struggling to win football games. He has a great track record of keeping bias aside and analyzing the game from afar ever since becoming a member of the media.

Steelers Former Safety Gets Into It With Former First-Round Bust

The most recent little skirmish came in a Twitter feud with former first-round pick, Brady Quinn. The quarterback only lasted four seasons in the NFL and is on a long list of bad decisions by the Cleveland Browns when it comes to the signal-caller position. Clark and Quinn played against one another multiple times.

The issue surrounded top draft prospect, CJ Stroud. Quinn, according to his comments on the Pick Six Podcast, claims to have heard that Stroud committed to the Manning Passing Academy, but never went.

“I’ve been told that he committed to [the Manning Passing Academy] the night before. Just kind of ghosted them, didn’t show up,” Quinn said.

Quinn continued, calling Stroud out essentially for his character.

“That’s football royalty. And when you do that, that’s going to set off some alarms for people like, ‘Hey, man, that’s not how you conduct yourself, especially around the Manning family, or just in general if you’re going to be a franchise quarterback.’”

Clark fired back at Quinn, protecting Stroud, with a tweet.
