It is clear that NFL players are some of the greatest overall athletes in the world. So it would be logical to think that years of physical contact and draining workouts would get too much for anyone. However, Shannon Sharpe has managed to continue training like a world-class athlete, despite retiring from the NFL more than twenty years ago. That has resulted in an incredible physique, which would be fitting for a bodybuilder.
During his 54th birthday celebration on June 26, 2022, Shannon Sharpe shared photos of his physique. His Instagram post featured a front-to-back photo of his entire upper body. So, his most eye-catching details were the all-around shredder back, huge arms, and prominent abs. Sharpe also shared a few videos in the same post, some of which were of motivational character.

Shannon Sharpe’s Career
Shannon Sharpe’s American Football career was one for the history books. He was a Broncos player for 12 seasons, while he also played two seasons in the Ravens shirt. Sharpe won three Super Bowl’s, and ended his career as the tight end with the most receiving touchdowns (62), receptions (815), and receiving yards (10,060). These three records were ultimately broken, so he’s no longer in possession of either of them.
Shannon Sharpe was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 6, 2011. He was also a part of the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team.
Even while he was an American Football player, Shannon Sharpe had a phenomenal physique and was very athletic. This led to him being tested for the use of PEDs quite often, but the result always showed that he was clean. One of the videos in his birthday post addressed this topic.
“I was always a guy that looked a certain way, so people automatically thought that I was on something… I said I thought it was random. So, how am I randomly in 16 weeks getting tested seven times… I’m cool with it, because I know I ain’t on nothing, I ain’t taking nothing.”

Sharpe will most definitely work hard and continue to improve his physique.
