ESPN Gets Blasted For Bringing Up Tee Higgins’ Mom’s Drug Addiction After Being Drafted (PIC)

The Cincinnati Bengals have given Joe Burrow a weapon to work with in the 2020 season.

In the second round of the NFL Draft, the team drafted selected Clemson Tigers wide receiver Tee Higgins with the 33rd pick.

What was supposed to be a grand day turned weird when ESPN thought it would be a good idea to put that his mom overcame a drug addiction on his draft bio.

Can ESPN just focus on the athletes and not so much on players traumatic backgrounds. Tee Higgins just got drafted and they talk about his mom drug addiction.
