"Momma got shot": Tee Higgins recalls tough times growing up, mother's transformation

Tee Higgins was surrounded by a bevy of media members during an interview session for the College Football Playoff, and his answers were straightforward and to the point. That all changed when he was asked about his mother, and the smile that we all know and love appeared and the passionate words of a loving son began to flow.

That continued Tuesday when Higgins wrote a piece for The Players’ Tribune about his mother.

His mother, Camillia “Lady” Stewart, has seen each and every catch and been in his corner the entire way.
