Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith has risked the wrath of the Bills Mafia after branding Buffalo ‘the worst place you can be in the world’.
The 28-year-old, who was a third-round draft pick in 2017, spent time with the Titans, Patriots and Falcons before joining the Dolphins.
Smith is familiar with trips to Highmark Stadium, given he has played for the Patriots and is now with the Dolphins – two AFC East rivals of the Bills.
During an appearance on ‘The Dive Bar Podcast,’ the tight end took aim at the city of Buffalo and even its local cuisine.
‘Going from anywhere in the country and going to Buffalo, it’s got to be the worst place you can be in the world,’ said Smith.
‘And Buffalo wings are not even good. They ain’t even good. Yeah, I’m at Buffalo. I’m at them. I’m throwing all type of shots at Buffalo.’
Smith can expect a frosty reception when the Miami Dolphins visit Highmark Stadium in week nine of the 2024 NFL season.
The Bills’ home can be an unforgiving place for players, given the brutal winter weather. In January, Buffalo’s wildcard game against the Steelers had to be rescheduled because of a snowstorm.
Fans were paid $20 an hour – and given complimentary breakfast – to help clear the stadium after Orchard Park was battered by 17 inches of snow.
