"That’s your problem pimp, you are also brainwashed @ShannonSharpe. I’m not worried about what everyone perceives to be true , like yourself. I stand on facts and you’ve yet to talk about facts. You can easy be manipulated just like everyone has because of marketing. I bet you won’t debate me. Big facts!!!," Samuel wrote.

Samuel didn't stop there. He posted a video on social media and ripped Sharpe for saying Deion Sanders is the greatest cornerback ever.

"You want me to believe he's the greatest player to ever live and the greatest corner to ever live and no one can ever be better than him? Get the f**k out of here," Samuel said.

Samuel's rant comes after Deion Sanders claims the T-techinque for cornerbacks isn't good and he doesn't like it, which Samuel disagreed with.

Asante Samuel takes aim at Deion Sanders

Asante Samuel also took aim at Deion Sanders as well as Shannon Sharpe. He called out Sanders over the T-Step technique for the cornerback.

"Once again do not listen to this foolishness … of course he never learned how to T-Step his athletic ability was on another for his time," Samuel wrote. "T-Step is the best technique to get to the football, not running out of the break. This is comedy... I can’t stop laughing how foolish he sounds. You can’t control everything sir. The first thing a cornerback is taught, never run out of breaks… Sooooo T-Step is the perfect technique."
