Joe Thomas rips into Justin Gilbert after release from Steelers
Geoff Burke / USA TODAY Sports
Justin Gilbert was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday and his former teammates are adding insult to injury.
Gilbert, selected eighth overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2014, is widely considered to be one of the biggest draft busts in recent memory and was traded to the Steelers last September.
Browns left tackle Joe Thomas blasted Gilbert upon being released, alleging that the cornerback didn't care about football.
If you don't like football, it doesn't matter how talented you are, your star will burn out quick. https://t.co/r7PfDSTljL
