Cincinnati Bengals receiver Andrei Iosivas talked to reporters May 12 about some of the awful social-media messages he received during the 2025 NFL season.
“I feel like last year I was in my head a little bit,” Iosivas said. “I had those drops in those games and people were telling me to kill myself and all that kind of stuff. I never had that kind of stuff happen to me before.
“So it got in my head a little bit when people, you know, when your DMs are flooded with people telling you to kill yourself. It makes me angry, honestly.”
In his third NFL season with the Bengals, Iosivas had 33 catches for 435 receiving yards with two touchdowns over 17 games.
The 26-year-old Iosivas was a sixth-round pick of the Bengals in the 2023 NFL Draft.
He has 84 receptions for 1,030 receiving yards with 12 touchdowns over three seasons.
