A popular sports radio personality came under fire by a former Alabama player for comments made about the Miami Dolphins.

Colin Cowherd, host of The Herd with Colin Cowherd, ruffled feathers of Miami fans by stating the team ‘constantly needs validation’ despite it having a good season. The Dolphins are atop the AFC East at 11-4 and Tua Tagovailoa is having a MVP-caliber season as a quarterback in the National Football League. Cowherd is not giving the team any credit for its success, and a clip from his recent show has made its rounds on social media. Raekwon Davis, a second-round pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, fired back at Cowherd with “How about a F*** you boy and you move on !” Davis, a University of Alabama alum, played under Nick Saban for the Crimson Tide from 2016 to 2019 as a defensive end.

He was a two-time Southeastern Conference Champion (2016, 2018) and a College Football Playoff National Champion in 2017.

Davis also made first-team All-SEC in the 2017 season.

The 6-foot-7, 325-pounder has 23 tackles, two tackles for loss, and sack as a defensive tackle in 15 games.

Davis may take the “LANK” mentality of his Alma mater and apply it to Cowherd and the NFL media.
