I truly loved when Shannon said in his HOF speech " I'm the first person in the HOF and I'm not even best player in my own family"

[SickBoya]

He was phenomenal. He was fast, and he was a mismatch nightmare for defenses. He held all of the tight end records when he retired. If he was young and could still play today, I think he'd still dominate.

Shannon grabbed all those yards on a Running Team. He is incredible.

THE definition of a Hall of Famer, someone who changed the way the position is played, and with the records to go along.

My dad has had season tickets for over 30 years. As a kid, I went to the games and everyone had their #7 Elway jerseys. Getting my first jersey was a big deal to me back then, and I went with #84 Sharpe. I've loved that guy for practically my entire life.

This video was well written, edited, narrated and produced. Hats off.

Shannon and Sterling's story is amazing, an inspiration. Shannon is one of the most entertaining and knowledgeable sports analyst on television.

“We were so poor we had to rob the Robber"Dam he is my inspiration

[blakebrown]

He is regarded as one of the greatest tight ends of all time! He is also a commentary and a football analyst who have worked his way through the years. He was the first tight end to surpassed over 10, 000 receiving yards in his career.

[heyjesse]

"We was so poor a robber broke into our house and we ended up robbing the robber".That sh1t killed. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The greatest TE in history. He retired as the best ever, and had revolutionised the game both offensively and defensively.

Terrell Davis is not talked about enough. Their first SB season he rushed for 1750 yards. The next season he rushed for 2008 yards. That team was electric! I loved watching them when I was a kid.

This video was so well produced! I knew Unk was a beast back in the day but this video really put it into perspective. Unk is the GOAT!

[somewhat.random]

He was the second best Sharpe to play in the NFL. He said it himself in his induction speech.

Soooo happy to see Young Sharpe. It's sooo weird how almost no one knew him from his HOF days, but now, he has become so popular and and most people know him from Undisputed

[Danny-oiyl]

Shay Shay is my all time number one favorite Denver Bronco. Always has been, always will be. He walked the walk and he talked the dang talk too. Listening to that Man all these years has been a gift, Thank you Mr. Sharpe, thank you very much!

[Jimmyfly]

hes one of the best Tight Ends to ever play the game. and he was a huge part of developing the modern day TE

[Hereforthelols]

I dont even understand how the game is played or scored but a story of struggle and adversity leading to success through sheer hard work and determination is something i will always cheer. I know him coz i watch basketball and him and skip were one of my fav analysts to watch coz of all the drama and stuff

Awesome personality on and off the field ‼️🏈
