FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Defensive tackle Danny Shelton held his introductory conference call with the New England Patriots reporters Monday afternoon, which was also an opportunity for him to introduce reporters to Moni, Juicy, Mojo and Juju.
Call them the "The Furry Sheltons" -- and follow them on Instagram for more details.
They are Shelton's four emotional support dogs, and they have played an important role in his life. As detailed in a 2015 television profile on Fox Sports, Shelton went through the trauma and pain of being present when his brother "Skeevie" was shot and killed, and bringing Moni and Juicy into his life helped him move forward.
