Shane Ray’s mother took exception to a sportswriter’s opinion of the Denver Broncos rookie pass-rusher on Sunday, calling him out in a public way on Twitter.
Mike Klis of 9News in Denver is the target of Sebrina Johnson’s ire.
Ray has stated that his personal goal for the 2015 season is to win the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year trophy—a goal Klis doesn’t think is achievable.
“I don’t see anything less than Defensive Rookie of the Year. I mean that’s my goal,” Ray said during the NFL’s rookie symposium (NFL.com).
In his preseason preview of the rookie linebacker, Klis expressed doubts about Ray’s stated goal.
