NFL Hall of Famer has remained shredded during his time off the field.
Shannon Sharpe built a career on the field that made him one of the best tight ends in NFL history. Now, he continues to have a successful career in sports off the field while remaining in elite shape. On the eve of his 54th birthday, Sharpe shared a post to social media showing off his shredded physique.
Sharpe played 14 years in the NFL and revitalized the position a bit. He was a true pass catcher ranking first all-time in catches (815), receiving yards (10,060), and receiving touchdowns (62) at the time of his retirement. All records have since been broken but Sharpe’s impact on the game remains clear. He is also a three-time Super Bowl champion having won back-to-back titles with the Denver Broncos in 1997 and 1998 and Baltimore Ravens in 2000.
Sharpe retired from the NFL in 2003 after eight Pro Bowl appearances and four First-Team All-NFL nods. Now, he hosts Undisputed on Fox Sports 1, along with Skip Bayless.
“The front and back of your favorite Unc celebrating his 54th bday. Yes, unc turned 54 today. Had I not told you my age. You prob wouldn’t have guessed it. Now that I’m telling you, you prob don’t believe it. Happy birthday to everyone celebrating a bday today and Cancer’s rule the world.”
