Jalen Carter Says 49ers Player Chirped Him About Dead Teammate During Game
On Tuesday, 49ers lineman Jon Feliciano went viral for throwing his teammate under the bus for missing a block in the Super Bowl. He then apologized because he was hungover:

Totally fine. Hangovers post-30 fucking suck. Who among us hasn’t woken up hungover and been a bitch?
Jalen Carter though took that and posted on his Instagram that Feliciano is the same guy who chirped him about the teammate who died in the UGA drag racing incident, which is why he was emotional during the game:

Immediately I’m thinking this dude is a scumbag piece of shit. But Feliciano replies that there was a war of words during the game. A classic game of he said/he said playing out for millions to see, except Feliciano admitted his part:
Dude told me he was gonna murder me and my kids would never see me again 3x because I was laughing at him after getting a flag … I said I believe you you got a body. Then he continued for weeks posting my fam n reachin out to my friends https://t.co/g8ZhUE3DaR

If you dish it you gotta be able to take it. He talked about my kids, I made that reference. I lost a friend to an accident too so I understand why he was upset. I did feel bad thought about apologizing until he started posting my kids on his IG then I had to get NFL involved.

Apparently this is what Carter posted on his Instagram before deleting it sometime after the December game:
Jalen responded and went private on Twitter saying Feliciano must still be drunk:
“Jit must still be drunk”😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/t6G04HcFRE

Look, football is an emotional game. Nobody knows what happened besides these two and whoever handles the mic’d up footage for the NFL. Bringing up the guy’s dead teammate is bullshit, but you’re crazy to think that’s the only time a lineman has mentioned it to Carter this season to get in his head. Posting someone’s kids on your IG story is also bullshit. I’m calling this a tie.
Sidenote: What an amazing job the mic’d up editor must be. Four hours of hearing what players really think of each other. That person has all of the NFL secrets. Do you think NFL Films deletes the footage that doesn’t air or is there some small corner of the building that has it all from the last three decades, ready to be released? Need an Oceans 11-style break-in by someone to get that and put it on YouTube. Remember when the entire country freaked out when Sam Darnold was seeing ghosts? That’s child’s play compared to what Aaron Hernandez was telling people:
