Despite becoming a division rival, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen remains close with his teammates from the Baltimore Ravens.
Queen left the Ravens this offseason to sign a three-year, $41 million contract with the Steelers. Baltimore cornerback Arthur Maulet isn't falling for Queen's remarks about the city of Pittsburgh, recently trolling him about his praise for the city.
“PQ. We know the food’s not better, bro. We know the city’s not better, bro. Come on," Maulet said.

The comment reference comes from earlier in the offseason, when Queen said Pittsburgh was a better atmosphere for him than Baltimore, specifically referencing the food.
"It's a better atmosphere here for me," Queen said, via Mark Kaboly of The Athletic. "Everybody is cool, the people are cool, the players are cool and the food spots are better. I am a big food guy. I love food. I am more of a true food guy rather than a seafood guy. I like meat and stuff like that. It's just a better atmosphere for me here."
Baltimore is famous for its seafood, which Queen is seemingly not a big fan of. Nevertheless, it's nice to see the 24-year-old keeping connected with ex-teammates.
Queen will bolster the Steelers' group of coverage linebackers while the pass rushers are highlighted by T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Pittsburgh's defense will give them the best chance of reaching the postseason in the loaded AFC North alongside the Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, and Cleveland Browns.
