"He is such a f***ing worm" - NFL fans react to Adam Schefter's colleagues calling him out over his mistakes

NFL insider Adam Schefter is one of the biggest hitters in the media industry. He is often the first to report a story, and conveys the news on his Twitter page.

Just like many others, Schefter has had the odd slip up here and there, particularly with his reporting of the Deshaun Watson saga and the Dalvin Cook situation.

Schefter was recently profiled by the Washington Post. The article touched upon some of the errors made by the NFL insider while reporting sensitive news. It also dealt with the topic of Schefter potentially releasing information in order to get something back in return.

Several of Schefter’s colleagues have criticized him anonymously for his slip-ups. Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio also addressed the matter in his latest piece.

Fans on Twitter were quick to weigh in on the situation. Many were critical of Schefter.

"Schefter is such a f***ing worm."

A few users were quick to defend Schefter and call out Florio instead.
