Mizzou cornerback Toriano Pride has undoubtedly been privy to plenty of trash talk coming from his Tigers teammates, and perhaps may have been the target of some of it, too.
But who is the best trash talker on Mizzou‘s offense, though? That would be running back Ahmad Hardy, Pride said.
“He comes in every day, he’s a really playful guy,” Pride said, according to KMIZ-TV’s Nathalie Jones. “He’s the same person every day. Walks around with his phone, playing music out the phone, turned up all the way, singing them songs in the locker room, talking trash to the defense, the DBs, telling us we’ve got to tackle them in practice.”

Pride recounted a scrimmage on Monday where Hardy was doing just that.
“He’s talking trash, and I like to talk trash too. So it’s fun. On the offensive side, he’s really the main talker,” Pride said.
There should be some big things coming from the RB room, too, he added.
“I feel like people that are his type of build, as fast as he is, as swole and short, it’s really hard,” Pride said. “As stocky as he is, really all of our running backs, honestly, all of them are hard to bring down.”
