BALTIMORE -- Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman can't avoid ridicule these days even when he catches passes.
Perriman heard Bronx cheers from the home crowd after each of his two receptions during the Ravens' 23-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday.
The sarcastic reaction from fans after catches of 8 and 6 yards didn't sit well with one of Perriman's biggest supporters on the team.
"That [stuff] is disrespectful," wide receiver Mike Wallace told The Baltimore Sun. "I don't agree with that. I would have flipped them the bird -- everybody -- if that was me. I'm happy he's not like me. I would have turned around and flipped the bird to the whole stadium. That's just me. I don't care who likes it or how they feel. That's disrespectful. They're acting like he's trying to have bad games."
Perriman, the No. 26 overall pick of the 2015 draft, has struggled mightily this season. He has 10 catches for 44 yards and no touchdowns during a season in which he was a healthy scratch for three games.
After Saturday's game, Perriman said he was unaware of the fans' mockery.
"I didn't know what the cheers were for," Perriman said. "I didn't know if they were good or bad. So I can't be mad."
Perriman's career has been derailed by injuries and inconsistency. He missed the entire 2015 season with a partially torn PCL in his right knee, and he was sidelined for all of training camp last year with a partially torn ACL in his left knee.
This year, Perriman was sidelined for all of the preseason with a hamstring injury before missing one game with a concussion. He has since dropped behind Chris Moore as the team's No. 3 wide receiver.
"He's never going to let that get him down," Wallace said of the home crowd's reaction to Perriman. "That shows his character and what our team is all about. Guys put their heads down and keep working. You don't always get to do what you want to do, but you've got to keep grinding. He's going to be fine. I think he's going to make some big plays for us going down the stretch."
Does Perriman think he'll ever get back the fan support?
"It is what it is," Perriman said. "Regardless, I'm going to still do me and get in my playbook. I don't care what they do. They can boo me if they want."
