Shannon Sharpe on Mentoring Travis, Tight End Mt. Rushmore, Playing in Todays NFL More | EP 35

92%ers we are back with another episode of New Heights presented by our friends at Fireball. In this episode, we are joined by an NFL Hall of Famer, a Tight End legend, and the man better known as “Unc,” Shannon Sharpe. Shannon talks with the guys about how he first started mentoring Travis, how the secret to Tight End success might be all in the hips, and who is on his Tight End Mt. Rushmore. We also dive into how Shannon was almost cut from the Broncos, which records he doesn’t think anyone will ever touch, why he’d be putting up “Travis numbers” in the modern NFL, and why he’d swap places with his brother Sterling if given the chance. Finally, Shannon gives us his thoughts on the vaunted 2000s Raven's defense, if anyone in the NFL would block for Skip Bayless, why LeBron James wouldn’t be a great NFL Tight End, and what advice he’d give his rookie self.
