Good thing Michael Oher waited a few years before venting about his frustration with ESPN’S NFL Draft guru Todd McShay. The Ravens left tackle does not appreciate McShay’s waving of the character red flag when evaluating players.
Oher tweeted on Tuesday,“Ok im so tired of the Character issues they are puttiing on ppl!” Oher tweeted Tuesday. “What Character issues?!? Somebody tell me? . . . I never got in trouble with the Law . . . yes sir no sir guy . . . But this Todd Mcshay guy acts if he knows ppl on a personal level get real!”
That wasn’t all. Oher later tweeted to McShay directly.
@McShay13 What if someone was to talk about your son . . . and he had character issues!! Thats how my family felt. You need to meet ppl first and then judge them not go off what you hear!! . . . And I respect Mel Kiper way more then I respect you…your a joke!!”
Prior to being drafted, some people who had read about Oher’s upbringing in Michael Lewis’ book The Blindside had questions about Oher’s readiness for the NFL. Those questions were often painted over with the broad brush of “character concerns”.
