Davis has since responded to the comments. He claimed that the video only showed a one-sided perspective.

“I hate it, honestly. I just feel it shows … very one-sided. You see one rep, but you don’t see Cam blocking me, getting me at practice, getting me in other reps. I always say looks can be deceiving,” Davis said.

"I hate it honestly. It's very one-sided. You see one rep, but you don't see Cam … getting me in the other reps.

"I always say looks can be deceiving. One rep goes viral — whatever, whoop de woo. Cam was holding his own."

Davis said he wished people on the internet stopped sharing the seven-second video. He said he saw Jurgens as a “good teammate”.

“I always say that looks can be deceiving. One rep and it goes viral, whatever, whoop-da-whoop, but Cam is holding his own. He’s a very good player and it’s just good competition. It’s iron-on-iron. You see the background of everything, but don’t let the hype get to you.” Davis said.

A fan reacted to the video, editing it backward and saying it was an “alternate” version, which shows Davis as the one being pushed by Jurgens. It was uploaded by Twitter user @5am_tweeter and received around 24K likes.

“I feel like I get more ready every single day,” Jurgens said after the joint training. “I’m excited. I’m just ready to play football and hit someone that’s not on our own team. I feel like every day we’re getting better.”
