CLEVELAND, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- He could have chirped back after New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins said that he "sucks."
But that wasn't Terrelle Pryor's style Sunday on Twitter. After Jenkins and the Giants beat the Browns 27-13, the defender claimed that the only reason Pryor caught passes was because the Giants were in zone coverage. He also called him a "[expletive] eater."
Pryor, who had 131 yards and six catches in the contest, responded to Jenkins by saying: "You are a great corner. Solid defender! You played a solid game. God Bless!! Good luck rest of year."

Another Twitter user asked Pryor if Jenkins was a top-3 cornerback. Pryor responded: "Easily. Worth every dime."

Jenkins, 28, signed a five-year, $62.5 million contract in March. He has 43 tackles and two interceptions this season, while defending 14 passes.
Pryor, 27, has 855 yards and four touchdowns on 62 receptions for the winless Browns. Jenkins has since deleted his tweets. The quarterback-turned-wide receiver Pryor also had a joking beef with Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee regarding his Thanksgiving Day dance moves on Monday.

McAfee was caught gyrating after successfully completing a fake punt in a lopsided loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pryor tweeted that night: "Colts punter watching @MarquetteKing film."

King is the Oakland Raiders' punter, also known for his elaborate dance moves.

McAfee responded Monday, saying: "Child please...I've been doing this since you were still a quarterback."
Pryor played mostly quarterback for the Raiders for the first few years of his NFL career. He officially made the move to wide receiver in 2015 for the Browns. But the dynamic playmaker still uses his arm in his arsenal, completing 5-of-9 passes for 41 yards this season.
