Giants draft pick Corey Ballentine's father ripped into New York radio host Mike Francesa after he said Ballentine being shot hours after he was selected in the sixth round reflected poorly on the franchise.
"This is the kid that that guy [Francesa] wished he had as his son," Ballentine’s dad, Karl Vaughn, told the New York Post.
Ballentine, a cornerback out of Washburn University, suffered a "non-life threatening" gunshot wound in an off-campus shooting in Topeka, Kan., early Sunday morning. Ballantine's friend and Washburn junior defensive back Dwane Simmons was killed in the shooting.
