Nelson Agholor Reportedly Told His Teammates They ‘Sucked’ Right in Front of Jon Gruden

The Las Vegas Raiders had an up and down season. They finished the season very down. Things boiled over so much, that Raiders receiver Nelson Agholor called out his entire team for sucking. He did that right in front of their coach too. Gruden sat back and watched the Raiders receiver unload on all his teammates.

Via the Athletic:

“Agholor, according to those in the room, said his teammates were selfish and didn’t work hard enough, and that they had quit against the Dolphins as well as in the previous two losses.

He said there was no accountability in the locker room, and on winning teams players play for one another and the coaches. The Raiders’ performance over the previous six games was unacceptable, and too many people within the team were just flat-out accepting it.

Agholor told his teammates that they sucked.

Then, according to witnesses, he was done and there was silence. Gruden didn’t respond and neither did any of the players. (When contacted Thursday night about the speech, Gruden texted, ‘I love Agholor.’”

Of course Gruden loves a guy who will rip his team if need be. That way he doesn’t have to come off like  the bad guy for once.

The Raiders need to be on Hard Knocks next year,  that would be something to watch. .
