While making it clear that he thinks Lewis is a great linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens during an interview with USA Today, he unloaded on the circus surrounding his play.
"It's definitely all about him. Once a guy goes to the center of the field, goes into the victory formation on the last play of his last home game " Toomer said to USA Today Sports. " I just don't think the Giants or any organization I've ever been a part of, even growing up, would allow somebody to single themselves out like that.
"If you single yourself out after you make a play, that's one thing. But to walk out on the field reminds me of the WWE, like The Rock coming out. You're becoming a caricature of yourself. It's exhausting. I don't know why somebody would want that."
"If you want to say you're Mr. Religious and all of that, have a clean record. Don't say all of that stuff if you know there's stuff that might come back," Toomer said. "Those are the things that, when I look at him, I just think hypocrisy."
You won't see a former player rip a current star player like that very often.
Some people don't enjoy Lewis' theatrics, and he does seem to always have a keen sense of where the camera is. Count Toomer among those who want to see less of Lewis when he's not lined up at middle linebacker.
