Had Shepard gone somewhere to play QB he may not be playing WR in the NFL today. Yes Les gets credit for having Shepard be an all around player. That's literally the only reason he's still playing in the NFL.
Shepard is the single most criminally underused offensive skill player in the les miles era. That's not even up for debate. more receptions last year in the NFL than his last 2 seasons combined at Lsu. Him being in the NFL is a testament to his work ethic and mindset, not because of anything les miles did for him.

Your post is correct. He was going to be cut the next day at Tampa. Then Coach Smith saw him as a gunner laying a lick on the returner. They kept him, he worked his arse off, and he is gonna play some ball, In spite of how Miles misused him.

I'm not a Miles fan, but I have to say that Miles did all he could to give Shepard touches. Shep just wasn't good here. Bad routes, bad hands, no juke-ability, went down at first contact, and fumbled.
Clearly has improved in the NFL, but he just wasn't good here, and Miles gave him plenty of chances.

Ask the TE's how they really feel...

23 receptions in 16 games in year 4 (more than the rest of his NFL career combined too) doesn't exactly show me a player that was criminally underutilized in college. THAT is the biggest myth on the rant, however.
