Quay Walker is making his intensity felt at the Las Vegas Raiders’ joint practice with the Houston Texans, and it’s apparently gone over the top on Tuesday.
Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston described a wild moment during the joint practice, involving Walker, who is starting a new chapter in his pro career with the AFC West franchise.
After picking off Houston star quarterback CJ Stroud, Walker celebrated the play in a seemingly intense fashion, which later drew boos from fans watching the action.
“Raiders Quay Walker intercepts C.J. Stroud, spikes football near Woody Marks, draws taunting flag and then booed by Texans fans. He responded by flipping them off. Wild play,” Wilson shared via a post on X.
Walker is unlikely to change his ways or approach just because some fans did not like how he carried himself in practice, so the Raiders will have to expect more of the same from the former Georgia Bulldogs star linebacker.
This is hardly the first time that Walker turned heads with his fiery behavior on the field. He was once ejected from a game during his rookie season with the Green Bay Packers after shoving a Buffalo Bills player. In the same season, he was tossed from a contest for shoving a Detroit Lions staff member.
The 26-year-old Walker spent his first four seasons in the NFL with the Packers, who opted to let him walk in free agency. The Raiders then scooped him up from the market, signing him to a 3-year, $40.5 million contract.
