Played at Notre Dame and a year as a grad transfer at U of Virginia
Doesn't look like he got an invite to the NFL Combine

What’s the deal with him? That’s a shitload of big plays for a team with ridiculous national exposure. Doesn’t seem like the kind of guy that goes under the radar.
Nice find.
ETA: statistically he seemed to regress a bit as his college career went on. Not sure if he had an injury at some point.

Shaheed 2.0?

He never quite broke through as more than a third-down back and wound up getting passed up by some more talented players.
He was recruited as a running back and played there for his first three years. He was the change-of-pace back to Kyren Williams his first season and looked like he might really break out. He got stuck behind Logan Diggs the next season and then Diggs and Audric Estime when Kyren graduated.
By his senior year, Notre Dame had Estime starting and two young backs (Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price, the current starting pair) were clearly going to pass him on the depth chart. He switched to wide receiver to stay on the field. He was fine -- good deep threat, solid hands -- but nothing special. He was the top receiver that year, but that group was badly lacking in talent and no one on the team topped 500 yards receiving.
He was always a good returner. Excellent speed, average shiftiness. I expect that's what he's been brought in for. He's undersized as a back or a receiver.

Interesting profile. Ran 4.39 at his pro day and had what would have been the highest vertical at the combine. Never eclipsed 26 receptions in a season but did have seasons with 73, 56 and 100 rush attempts. Appears to be a ST body but perhaps could work into a gadget role if everything worked out

Kinda reminds me of Reggie.

Saints looking for a wildcard to line up in different spots. Could be a good get.

Didn't realize we signed him. Was a tweener between RB/WR at ND, no idea about his time at UVA. Seemed to always be capable of making a big play a game, but never a workhorse. Not sure what his physical measurables were, but remember him seeming a bit small.

Looks really good in those highlights, but in the NFL players will be much faster and tackle better.
Hopefully he works out and can secure a role as a return man for this team so we do not have to keep espousing Sheed to possible injury. Shaheed has become to valuable as a WR to keep him in the return game full time. ( JMO, I'm sure player want to be on the field every snap possible.)

Reminds me of Deonte Harris
Posted on 5/5/25 at 10:46 am to L.A.
Is he related to the David Tyree who caught a football on the side of his helmet and won Super Bowl 42 for the Giants over the Patriots?

both Deonte and Reggie comparisons popped into my head as well - seems to have a pretty good upside

I guess you mean as a returner.
He has good pedigree. Never understood why he never got more snaps at notre dame.
