C. J. Gardner-Johnson Calls Out 'Haters' While Posting Eagles Super Bowl Ring Video

Former Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson received his Super Bowl ring and didn’t miss the chance to call out the “haters” while celebrating the moment.

"Hi haters," Gardner-Johnson wrote, captioning a video of his Super Bowl ring spinning in the spotlight.

Gardner-Johnson was traded to the Houston Texans in the offseason shortly after the Super Bowl win—a move the sixth-year safety has been vocal about since his departure.

"Scared of a competitor," Gardner-Johnson said on The Pivot podcast. "Simple as that. ... You can't program a dawg."

He also added that an in-game ejection and a scrum during practice created some tension regarding how the organization viewed him.

"We had a little scrum at practice," Gardner-Johnson said. "Nothing, just offense versus defense, but who's the culprit of it? Me. I guess, because we're competing. Well, you tell me the period is live. You're telling us not to compete during a live period, but it's a live period, and we're getting ready for a playoff game?"

"You want me to be a leader and outspoken, but then you want me to sit back," Gardner-Johnson continued. "There's nowhere been a locker room where I had a single issue with a teammate."

Gardner-Johnson finished last season with 35 solo tackles, six interceptions and 12 passes defended.
