Three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth has joined the chorus of criticism surrounding 72-year-old Bill Belichick's romance with 23-year-old Jordon Hudson. 

The former Denver Broncos offensive lineman offered his take on the controversial relationship during an appearance on Denver Sports 104.3 last week. 

'I think he's a pig,' Schlereth said, per The Spun. 

'That's disgusting. That's just awful. What are you doing? Plus, you just look like an absolute clown,' he went on. 

'What is wrong with you? He was 48 when she was born? She was a baby, and he was 48.'

Hudson and Belichick's age-gap relationship has been the subject of much discussion and scrutiny since their romance was revealed earlier this month. 

However, the cheerleader's 64-year-old ex-boyfriend Joshua Zuckerman recently came to her defense during a conversation with TMZ Sports.

'I have been involved with Jordon platonically and romantically and I consider her a good friend. I feel bad that she's caught up in this whirlwind,' he told the outlet last week. 

'I'm a former business owner in the healthcare field -- we regularly discuss business and shared interest in psychology, philosophy and most important, our love of nature,' he went on.   

The pair reportedly met on a 2021 flight from Boston to Florida and bonded over philosophy

'She is wise beyond her years, much more than any 20-something I've ever met in my life. The narrative about her character is not fair to her.'

The Bridgewater State University alum has been hunkering down with her beau, who is 48 years her senior, in the legendary NFL coach's lavish Nantucket compound since their relationship was brought to light. 

TMZ reported that the pair met on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021 and bonded over a philosophy project that Hudson was working on at the time. 

An unearthed selfie revealed the two even posed for a photo during their first meeting.
