Veteran lineback Patrick Queen surprised a lot of people this offseason when he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers after spending his first four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.

His former teammate, Marlon Humphrey, said on his Punch Line Podcast that "reality sets in eventually" when players leave Baltimore for other teams (8:00 mark), essentially his version of "the grass isn't always greener on the other side."

Queen had his own humorous retort:

Humphrey's comments were in direct response to Queen telling Mark Kaboly of The Athletic earlier in June that joining the Steelers this offseason was a "no-brainer" and that his new team offered "a great head coach, a defense that can ball and puts you into a situation to succeed."

He also said he already prefers the city of Pittsburgh to Baltimore in... well, just about every way possible.

"It's a better atmosphere here for me," he said. "Everybody is cool, the people are cool, the players are cool and the food spots are better. I am a big food guy. I love food. I am more of a true food guy rather than a seafood guy. I like meat and stuff like that. It's just a better atmosphere for me here."

The Steelers and Ravens already were hated rivals. This matchup didn't really need more spice. But Queen has been throwing some Carolina Reapers into the pot anyway.
