Dallas Cowboys first-round pick Caleb Downs got some first-class trash talk during a Week 8 game on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, courtesy of Arizona Cardinals star tight end Trey McBride.
After McBride caught a pass on a 3rd-and-6 play in the second quarter, the broadcast picked up the audio of McBride mocking the Dallas rookie.
“You’re a first-round pick? You’re a first-rounder? For what?” McBride said.
Here is a video (and the audio) of that moment.

Downs entered the league with a considerable college football resume, as he was an All-American during his time with the Ohio State Buckeyes and also won the Jim Thorpe Award. That’s not to mention that he helped Ohio State football win a national championship.
McBride clearly could not care less.
McBride, Cardinals Got The Last Laugh Over The Cowboys in Week 8
It wasn’t just all talk from McBride and Arizona. The Cardinals ended up defeating Dallas, 33-30, in overtime.
The Cowboys led by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter, but they squandered it all, as Arizona got a major spark from quarterback Gardner Minshew.
McBride had a notable play himself down the stretch, as he caught a 14-yard touchdown to trim Dallas’ lead down to three points with 2:11 to go in regulation.
The former Colorado State star McBride finished the game with 72 receiving yards and a score on seven receptions and eight targets.
