Tiki Barber loved seeing players’ homes during NFL draft

April 27, 2020


CBS Sports Radio host Tiki Barber’s focus during the NFL draft wasn’t just on teams’ picks. He was also eyeing the details of draftees’ homes in quarantine.

“I did not know what this draft was going to look like, because for me it was all visual from the homes of these players. It was kind of cool seeing inside of peoples houses like Isaiah Simmons,” he told Page Six.

Simmons was picked No. 8. “When they flipped to his house I was like, ‘Damn this kid was balling!’ Like, he’s very lucky.”

Barber, who’s partnered with social network site Tsu that helps college athletes earn compensation, added, “then there was a guy that the Jet took, Mekhi Becton — the first thing that I did notice was his mom with Christian Louboutin shoes on.”

The most talked-about moment caught on camera was when Oklahoma star CeeDee Lamb’s girlfriend seemed to stealthily look through Lamb’s cell phone, and the player snatched it away.

“The girl that grabbed the phone, I was like I don’t believe you!” Barber told us.

Lamb and his girlfriend Crymson Rose have denied any drama: She’s said online that she was just trying to answer a call from his agent for him.
