Eagles’ C.J. Gardner-Johnson chasing Super Bowl win while backing up his endless trash talk
NY Post
C.J. Gardner-Johnson called the Saints “pretenders” after their fast 2-0 start.
He mocked the Giants for letting go of Saquon Barkley.
He told the Commanders’ Jayden Daniels — the losing quarterback in the NFC Championship game — to watch the Eagles play in Super Bowl LIX from “Cancun University.” It was a callback to Daniels writing “Cancun on 3” one week earlier, during a postgame jersey swap with the Lions’ Terrion Arnold, after he ended Detroit’s season.
Oh, and the NFL’s best trash-talker also had 12 passes defended, six interceptions and a forced fumble in his return to the Eagles.
“I think the way I play is overshadowed because I talk a lot of crap,” Gardner-Johnson said after Friday’s practice. “Respectfully, I think the way I help lead this team is overlooked.”
Gardner-Johnson was drafted by the Saints and spent the 2023 season with the Lions, though he played in just six total games due to a torn pectoral muscle. But it feels like he was born to play for Eagles fans — and not just because Philadelphia has reached the Super Bowl in both seasons (2022 and 2024) that Gardner-Johnson has worn the uniform.
