Published:
Some fans of the Auburn Tigers and/or Cleveland Browns may have noticed that Jermaine Whitehead seemingly disappeared from Twitter on Sunday. The disappearance was because Whitehead’s account was suspended after he made violent threats toward fans and a member of the media during a postgame social media meltdown.
Whitehead, who played at AU from 2011-14, did not take criticism from a Browns radio host well.
