Former LSU Tiger Russell Shepard Announces Retirement From NFL

Wish he played soccer

He finally passed. I wish him the best.

He was aboot to be cut. Then Lovie Smith saw him at gunner. He did 4 0f his 7 years in Tampa, yet Tampa was not mentioned.

Solid LSU Tiger

Secret Playbook still intact

I just came here for the Les Miles comments... Thank the good Lord he is GONE!

Truly one of the good guys. I wish him all the best. Great Tiger, and Great Person.

I will never forget RS's recruiting video. I was sure this kid would take it to the house everytime he touched the ball. Things didn't quite pan out for him at LSU, but major props to him for continuing to remain professional throughout his time here. I never thought he'd make it in the league for 6 years. Im glad he proved me wrong.

I give him all the credit in the world for how he has handled himself over the years. He came in very highly recruited and it was very obvious he wasn't going to be a QB and switched to WR. He worked hard on special teams and to learn how to be a receiver, since he had no receivers skills. Because of this he was able to stick in the NFL for 7 years instead of going somewhere and playing QB, then trying to learn a new position at the NFL level and without a doubt failing like almost every other running QB

He made 14 million in his 6 yrs as a pro. Good job by him turning a pretty lackluster college career into life changing money.

He's going to be successful in whatever future endeavors he decides to pursue. All The Best, Russell...Thanks for being a great Tiger.

Good luck in the future and thanks for representing the way you do.

Still one of the greatest HS highlight videos I have ever seen. I literally jumped up and down when his LOI came in. Les absolutely ruined him. Mucho respecto for Shep making a name for himself in the NFL.

Les wasted this dudes talent
