For the second straight year, the rival Pittsburgh Steelers have stolen a defensive player from the Baltimore Ravens. Last year it was Patrick Queen, this time it was Malik Harrison, who inked a two-year deal with the Steelers.
Marlon Humphrey was not happy about Harrison's betrayal and took to X to express his thoughts on the linebacker ditching the Ravens not just in general but for the Steelers.
"It’s 31 other teams and you pick the yellow team… [Harrison's X handle] honestly screw you," Humphrey posted on X on Friday afternoon.
Marlon Humphrey didn't take Malik Harrison news well at all
It's hard to blame Humphrey for being upset here. After all, it's no secret that Ravens fans and players are taught to loathe the Steelers organization as soon as they arrive in Baltimore. Harrison knew what this signing would do and he still opted to sign there.
Harrison, a third-round pick by Baltimore in the 2020 draft, was never a superstar with the Ravens but that doesn't make it any less disappointing that he left the team that drafted him for their biggest rival. It hurts even more that he's now the second player in as many years to bolt for Pittsburgh after spending the first four years of his career with the Ravens.
Humphrey has never been shy about expressing himself on social media so is anyone really surprised to see him speak out about Harrison's departure? If Harrison had signed with any team but the Steelers, maybe Humphrey wouldn't have been so upset but again, it's hard to blame him here for being mad.
At this point, Ravens fans know how this feels and will now go from cheering Harrison on to rooting against him. Such is life in the NFL, especially with a hated rival like the Pittsburgh Steelers.
