Shannon Sharpe’s Career
Sharpe had an outstanding collegiate career, but he was not a highly regarded candidate in the 1990 NFL Draft. Sharpe was too big for a receiver and too tiny for a tight end, and he only played Division II college football. The Denver Broncos eventually selected him with the 192nd pick in the seventh round. Denver changed him from a receiver to a tight end after his two subpar seasons as a receiver, during which he only caught 29 passes. This swiftly paid off since in his third season, Sharpe caught 53 passes. He stayed with Denver until 1999, and during that time, he won two championship rings at Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII.
