Shep had 162 total touches in his four years, which comes out to 3 touches per game. Considering all the hype surrounding Shep during his time at LSU, that's a crazy stat.

Shep averaged nearly 7ypc on a paltry 104 rushes in his career. I think this is an area where the coaching staff clearly failed him.

I've been saying this for a few years now. Had we not had such a log jam already at RB while he was here, he would have absolutely flourished as a DeAnthony Thomas type. He was never a consistent WR threat and all of his huge plays came out of the backfield
