He couln't play QB worth a damn and he could get tackled by a blade of grass, so how would he have been huge for us?
Almost a ten yr NFL career and over 9.5 million in the NFL, and he couldn't help Les. He did it in spite of Les.
Wow!

Average nfl career is half that.
Average nfl career for an undrafted player is much less

Wow!
But let's be honest - Shep wasn't good at LSU. And as much as I dislike Les, he gave Shep plenty of chances.
Shep had stone hands here, went down at first contact, and had no wiggle (although he did have straight-line speed).
He was a good athlete, just not a good player here. I guess he was able to find his niche in the NFL.
