Former New York Jets head coach, Rex Ryan, is no stranger to making headlines during his new role as a media personality. Following in the foot steps of his family’s storied past, Ryan is an often times blunt and problematic voice in NFL media. He is strongly opinionated and is not afraid to come directly after players.
He set his latest sights on Cleveland Browns‘ backup quarterback, and son of NFL Hall of Famer, Shedeur Sanders.
“This kid talks and he runs his mouth. Like he said, ‘I can be a starting quarterback’ with his arms crossed like this. Get your a– in the front row and study and do all that. If I know, the whole league knows,” Ryan said ESPN’s Get Up. “Quit being an embarrassment that way. You’ve got the talent to be the quarterback, you should be. You should be embarrassed that you’re not the quarterback now.”
Pilar Sanders Responds
Sanders’ mother, Pilar Sanders, saw the rant from the ex-Jets head coach and took to her Instagram stories to respond.
“To young Athletes and Football fans… This is what impotent, cancerous, envious energy looks like,” she wrote in a now deleted post. “This type of Evile (sic) goes waaay back – you can cut it with a knife – embedded in blood and bones seeping through all of the rotting worm holes it has.”
She continued on her strong indictment of Ryan’s cahracter.
“What and who does he really represent? Its family and peers should be embarrassed to know and let this on their platforms. There’s no room for this type in sports,” she concludes.
