Lions HC Claybrooks’ mom is on Twitter, and it’s awesome
The BC Lions introduced DeVone Claybrooks as their new head coach on Tuesday, plucking the former defensive coordinator from the Stampeders’ Grey Cup-winning coaching staff.
Claybrooks’ aggressive, big-play defence has been much-celebrated by fans, media and football personnel alike, but his mother Sally — who played a huge part in saving his life during a health scare in August — remains his biggest supporter.

And on-hand in Vancouver yesterday when her son was named the 26th head coach in Lions history.
“I missed a high school playoff game as a senior because I got two Cs on my report card. We do have that high standard.”
Raised by his mom and grandparents in Virginia, DeVone Claybrooks (@biscuit9595) brings a solid work ethic to #BCLions 🏈
