From humble beginning on his grandparents’ farm in Georgia, Shannon talks through his football journey that led him to Canton. After being fed up with getting hit in the backfield, Shannon thrived after moving from running back to tight end. When his high school coach talked him out of the going to the army, Shannon became an undeniable talent at Savannah State. He talks about his unspoken trust with John Elway, how he approached every practice and what it was like to break Ozzie Newsome’s all-time receiving record when playing for the Ravens.
