Chris Jones could have gone there.
The Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle could have ripped in Zach Wilson like everyone else has and talked about the struggles of the former No. 2 overall pick and how he couldn’t close out perhaps his best performance on Sunday night.
But he didn’t. Instead, he kept it classy when NBC’s Rodney Harrison wondered about looking at tape and saying, “You’ve got to look at this dude and say, aw he is garbage.”
Jones later said, “Zach Wilson is special, man. You’ve just got to give the guy time.”
Obviously, Harrison disagreed and said as much:
Rodney Harrison goes IN on Zach Wilson and Chris Jones sticks up for him:

Fans weren’t happy with Harrison’s line of questioning:
Respect for Chris Jones is through the roof. Rodney Harrison in the toilet. pic.twitter.com/BDaLgdpLOt

Rodney Harrison is the biggest loser. I can't believe he has me defending Zach Wilson but this was so forced and good for Chris Jones not falling into his trap pic.twitter.com/CS7r9m5xoN
