Memphis LB takes back tweet bragging about Robert Nkemdiche concussion

For Ole Miss, last year’s game against Memphis was more than just a tough loss. The team suffered a major scare when Robert Nkemdiche, playing offense, left the field with a concussion after taking a hard hit from Tigers LB Jackson Dillon.

On Friday, Dillon tweeted a shot of Nkemdiche down on the field with the caption “Not only do I knock them out. I pick which play. #GTG Beat Ole Miss”. The tweet has since been taken down, but Red Cup Rebellion captured a screenshot:

After a negative reaction, Dillon deleted the tweet and said it was taken the wrong way.
