re: Russell Shepard...either never got the right chance or was just not what he seemed to be?

If he played for a coach like Kiffin, freeze, urban, etc he would had a very nice little college career.

He went to quite possibly the worst head coach for him

And those saying “he only was an nfl special teams player for 8 years”, you need to look up the average college career for those types of players. They are usually very productive college position players
