After playing 9 seasons in the NFL and following the Director of Player Development position at LSU.

Wish he could have stayed on the staff somewhere at LSU

Great for him. Nice career in the field and potential to advance off it.

At some point you’re gonna have to diversify your resume. Good for kelvin, hopefully he continues to move up the ranks

Good for him. Maybe he'll be back to Baton Rouge in the future.

It's good for these analysts to move on and broaden their horizons and get experience elsewhere.

Kelvin will be better for having gone to the NFL, and perhaps can come back to LSU in the future.

*Sheppard

Didn't realize he played in Detroit before. Also that Matt Campbell had been his interim HC with the Dolphins at one point.

("Matt" is Dan Campbell's nickname. yup.)

Moscona speaks very higly of him today as a person/coach/recruiter. We never get to really know a kids character off the field and who they are outside of being athletes so hearing this is nice!

I remember him as being a guy who gave great effort every play. Hope he succeeds beyond his wildest dreams.

Met him and his parents in Little Rock in 2010. Awesome guy and wonderful parents. It was obvious he was going to be successful at whatever profession he chose. He is a guy that could easily be HC one day. Very bright and absolutely driven.

Actually, this is a win-win situation. Someone on here made the frustrated comment a few days ago that people dont come to the LSU program to better themselves. I hope this calls BS on that statement. Sheppard went from retired NFL player to CFB staff to NFL position coach in a short period of time. There are people out there that may work half their career to get that far.

Congrats to a great former Tiger!
