Cowboys rookie cornerback Anthony Brown played against Ravens receiver Steve Smith on Sunday, and the kid didn't come away with a favorable impression of the veteran.
"I had respect for him before the game, but after the game I have no respect for him anymore," Brown said, via the Dallas Morning News. "He's a real character, and I actually saw it for myself (Sunday). I don't got nothing to say about Steve Smith."
Brown continued: "Coming into the game they already told me what kind of player he was. But until you see it for yourself, then you're just, 'calm down,' but it's hard because he keeps yapping after every play. It's kind of hard."

The sixth-round pick has been a great find for Dallas, as he's been a major contributor to the team's defense this season. Brown made some plays Sunday but did allow a touchdown to Smith in the fourth quarter. The veteran receiver finished with eight receptions for 99 yards.
We expect to hear back from Smith, who has now been criticized by his second rookie this season. The Jaguars' Jalen Ramsey called Smith an "old man" earlier this year, so the Baltimore wideout came back with a classic trash-talk response.
