ESPN personality and former Pittsburgh Steeler, Ryan Clark, made some controversial statements about the physical appearance of Tua saying that he looks like he was hitting the kitchen table more than the weight room this offseason and that he has thighs like a stripper. Many thought his comments were completely out of line, including Tua, who rarely responds to criticisms of himself.
He made an exception this time and made it very clear how he felt about the statements and Ryan Clark himself. In no uncertain terms…

This level of hate from Ryan Clark is unbelievable…
Tua does nothing but keep his head down and work his tail off the ENTIRE off season to get his body right.
