Za'Darius Smith Blasts Packers, Joined Vikings Because 'I Was Treated Bad' by GB

Za'Darius Smith doesn't like the Packers.

When he suffered a back injury, the Packers abandoned him.

Smith said that he came to the building to a nobody. Everyone in building. I wanted to know why I was being treated this way. I brought something to the table. This was changed by me. I'm the one being treated that way.

A back injury limited Smith to one game last season after he made back-to-back Pro Bowls. Smith signed with the Vikings because he felt slighted by the Packers, who released him in March.

I did everything I could to make it happen. I felt the same way I did with Green Bay. I put my body on the line. I put it all together. I was treated badly in the third year. I'm here right now because of that. I can play them two times a year.

Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that he didn't think the Packers treated Smith poorly.

As the Vikings host the Packers on Sunday, Smith will be able to get revenge on his old team.
