Jets' Denzel Mims calls Philadelphia a 'dirty ass, trash ass city'
New York Jets rookie Denzel Mims had some harsh words for the city of Philadelphia on a video game stream over the weekend.
When asked about his pre-draft visit with the Eagles, the former Baylor wide receiver described Philadelphia as a "dirty ass, trash ass city."

Mims, who hails from Daingerfield, Texas, spoke more about the visit during an interview with Adam Caplan and Geoff Mosher of the "Inside the Birds" podcast in April.
"I was very scared. I wasn't familiar with the whole city and it was a lot going on," he said. "You see a lot of people that look scary ... I had a bad experience, you could say, going up there that first time."
The Jets are scheduled to face the Eagles in Week 4 of the preseason, but that meeting could be scrapped with the NFL reportedly planning to shorten the preseason to two games.
