Deebo Samuel, a standout wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, is not a favorite of Detroit Lions safety CJ Gardner-Johnson, who used Instagram Live to insult the player and refer to him as a running back.

“One more thing. You’re so showy, bro, don’t be friendly when you see me, CJ Gardner-Johnson remarked on Instagram Live. Regardless of the [playoff] round, “You better hope, bro you better hope all the talk you be doing when we see you all… since I can protect you. Routes cannot be run. You’re a back who runs. You’re a back who runs. Little boy, I’m not going to play with you while I sit here. People give you a little clout just because you have a tiny bag, but after that, you’re nothing.

When the Lions signed Gardner-Johnson to a one-year contract in free agency last summer, he was one of the team’s biggest additions. He is now on injured reserve after sustaining a grade three chest pectoral injury this season. Although the exact date of his comeback is unknown, he certainly sounds as like he plans to be back in time for the playoffs. If he returns before the end of the season, it would be surprising.

The Lions do not have a regular season game scheduled against the 49ers. Both teams are 5-1, and are contenders in the NFC along with the Philadelphia Eagles, so it is very possible that the two match up in the playoffs.

It would be interesting to see how the matchup between Gardner-Johnson and Deebo Samuel goes if the two teams meet in January.
