Recently a "skinny kid" made it into the Pro Hall of Fame. Shannon Sharpe went to college with two brown bags filled with all his earthly belongings. "I grew up in Glennville, Georgia, and we were so poor, a robber once broke into our house and we ended up robbing the robber."
The All-Pro tight end for the Denver Broncos was nicked- named "Shapeshifer" in his early career for his ability to shape his body to any form to catch a ball. Shannon loved to comment: "I was a terrible student. I didn't graduate magna cum laude. I graduated 'Thank you, Lawdy.'"
