Robert Hainsey praises the Buccaneers after their battle with the Saints, Jaguars fans furious claiming he wants to return to Tampa Bay

October 29, 2025. TAMPA, Fla. 

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Robert Hainsey has sparked a wave of reactions across the NFL after openly praising his former team’s dominant 23-3 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. While the Buccaneers’ defense stole the spotlight with four turnovers and a pick-six from Anthony Nelson, Hainsey’s unexpected remarks have stirred emotions—especially among Jacksonville Jaguars fans, who now feel betrayed by his tone of admiration for Tampa Bay.

Hainsey, now playing for the Jaguars, didn’t hold back when asked about the Bucs’ resurgence this season. His words carried both pride and a tinge of regret. 

“That’s not the Buccaneers I left,” Hainsey said. “They’re sharper, faster, and more united than ever. Baker Mayfield is commanding the offense with complete control – and that defense? Good luck breaking through that wall. I don’t regret coming to Jacksonville, but maybe I came a year too early. Watching them now, you can almost feel a Super Bowl dream taking shape in Tampa.”

His comments quickly made their way across social media, with Jaguars supporters calling him “uncommitted” and “still stuck in the past.” Yet for Buccaneers fans, it was an emotional validation of how far their team has come under head coach Todd Bowles. Many praised Hainsey for speaking the truth, with one fan posting, “He said what everyone’s thinking—this team looks like 2020 all over again.”

Inside the Bucs locker room, Hainsey’s words reportedly drew nods of respect rather than resentment. Several current players acknowledged that his comments reflected a deep appreciation for Tampa’s culture and brotherhood. Whether intentional or not, his statement added another layer to the Buccaneers’ growing aura this season—a mix of hunger, unity, and unfinished business that now has the rest of the NFC on notice.

“My Cause My Cleats” shoes and Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Emotional Tribute Just Hours Before Giants Game Leave Detroit Speechless – A Story That Brought Lions Fans to Tears
Detroit, Michigan – November 22, 2025 Just hours before kickoff against the Giants, Amon-Ra St. Brown sent an emotional explosion through Detroit. Not because of a highlight, not because of a tactical breakdown – but because of his brand-new “My Cause My Cleats.” A pair of cleats carrying a personal story so deep that it left the entire Lions Nation choking back tears right before the massive showdown with the New York Giants. Team sources say St. Brown dedicated these cleats to his cousin who has Down syndrome – someone who became an inseparable part of his childhood. She was the first in the family with the condition, and she was the one who taught St. Brown patience, compassion, and how to love people unconditionally. After their grandmother passed away, the St. Brown family took turns caring for her for many years. Those very days shaped the soul of the man wearing No. 14 today. Just hours before the game, St. Brown silenced the entire locker room when he explained the real reason behind the cleats: “I want the whole world to know my cousin’s story. She has always been the softest, brightest light in our family. If these cleats make even one person understand more, love more, or open their heart more to people like her, then that is the greatest gift I could ever give her today.” Those words spread across social media like wildfire and truly brought Lions Nation to tears. For this year’s campaign, St. Brown chose to support Best Buddies Michigan – the organization that helps individuals with intellectual disabilities integrate and find their place in the community. The cleats are designed in the organization’s signature colors and will be auctioned immediately after the game to raise funds for families with loved ones who have Down syndrome. In the middle of Detroit’s playoff race, St. Brown’s tribute showed once again what this city has always been proud of: the heart of this team is bigger than any stat line. Amon-Ra isn’t just bringing hope for a win into Ford Field. He’s bringing love for his family, love for the community, and love for a cousin who helped turn him into the kind, respected man all of Detroit looks up to.
