My dad has had season tickets for over 30 years. As a kid, I went to the games and everyone had their #7 Elway jerseys. Getting my first jersey was a big deal to me back then, and I went with #84 Sharpe. I've loved that guy for practically my entire life.
I am South African, and don’t have depth knowledge of American Football, but this was so engaging that I’m planning to learn more about the game. Great presentation indeed. 👌
He is regarded as one of the greatest tight ends of all time! He is also a commentary and a football analyst who have worked his way through the years. He was the first tight end to surpassed over 10,000 receiving yards in his career.
@@screwdriverman5-kf2ui Tony G didn't play with scrub QBs his entire career. He had Trent Green (one of the most underrated QBs ever) for 6 years, Matt Ryan for 5 years, and started his career off with Elvis Grbac and Rich Gannon.
Terrell Davis is not talked about enough. Their first SB season he rushed for 1750 yards. The next season he rushed for 2008 yards. That team was electric! I loved watching them when I was a kid.

If fate had dealt you a different hand, there is no question, no question in my mind we would have been the first brothers to be elected to the Hall of Fame."

Shay Shay is my all time number one favorite Denver Bronco. Always has been, always will be. He walked the walk and he talked the dang talk too. Listening to that Man all these years has been a gift, Thank you Mr. Sharpe, thank you very much!
nowadays, Broncos are full of JAGs. back then, we had MEN. opposing Defenses saw names like Elway, Sharpe, Davis, Smith and McCaffrey and were scared. our guys walked around with confidence and swagger. not no more, not no more.
I first saw shannon on Undisputed afew years ago and learnt that he was a great nfl player before... seeing this video makes me appreciate him even more... Hes a phenomenal athlete and even bigger tv personality and business man now...
This doc was phenomenal! Im 33 and knew he was great but had no idea of the journey! Everything from his brother playing in the NFL before him then breaking his neck then him winning his first SB with John Elway against (Brett Favre and) the team his brother would've still been playing for is deep. I also had no clue he was apart of the team that won The Ravens their first Super Bowl. Today we know him as 'Unc' but this was like learning about your real uncle's life when you were a kid lol...amazing

@@JamaalDaGreatest I'm from Australia so we don't get American sports shows on our TV also I never really watched the NFL more an NBA fan. This was all new info to me Been getting into the NFL more and more

I know him coz i watch basketball and him and skip were one of my fav analysts to watch coz of all the drama and stuff
I love Shannon Sharp! I don't think the Broncos win a Super Bowl without him. He was like having a third wide receiver in there, and no linebacker could cover him. Every team has to have a motor mouth and Shannon was it! But he always backed up his trash talk with stellar play and a likeable goofiness! Those 96'-98' teams were homegrown w/o much free agency. Rod Smith was undrafted, and Terrell Davis was a 6th rounder. Thank you Broncos!
@@bagtea I fully agree. Even now he considers his brother a better football player than him. The way he talks about his bro, Shannon don't have 3 rings by himself. He and his brother have 3 rings.
When he retired he was the all time leader for a TE in TDs , Receptions , and receiving yards , he paved the way for TEs like Gonzalez, Gates, Gronk, Kelce etc , oh and he has 3 Super bowl rings with 2 teams and was a team captain for all 3 rings
Glad someone is finally making a vid about his HoF career. First started following him when he was with prick bayless on FS1 and he was hilarious in just about every episode. I love watching him on TV & his podcast. Undisputed will never be the same without him & Jenny
Shannon Sharpe is one of the greatest TE's to ever play the game. As a Bronco fan that suffered through some tough seasons since the early 70's, it was Sharpe that was the most clutch player not named John Elway.
@@MeLoNHeAd00 Yeah, sometimes I think he's the best and then I remember watching guys like Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates and Mike Ditka, etc., etc.. I'm just being honest, I've been a Bronco fan for over 50 years but you have to recognize some of these other guys that played TE as well. Shannon Sharpe is definitely one of the best though.
I respectfully disagree with that comment when you're talking about a tight end who restructured the tight end position as single-handedly help to change how professional offensive football is played so when you take that plus the speed the height and time 3xSuper Bowl champ,multi Pro Bowler first ballot Hall of Famer he has set records in the NFL that still has not been broken in my opinion he is the greatest tight end to ever play professional Collegiate football show me another tight end that play professional football from 91 to 99 that was more electric than Shannon Sharpe on the field
I wasn't initially a fan of his because of how much trash he would talked but he was one of the only reasons the Ravens made it to the Superbowl. They had almost no other offense. Was really good
@@poindextertunesJamal was still raw. He’s gonna get you those ugly yards but Shannon was scoring damn near all their points. People just don’t get how horrible dilfer was
@@TheDCGuitar13CASUAL. But the BS. Shannon wasn’t “scoring damn near all their points”. Can’t stand liars, embellishers, etc. Shannon doesn’t even need to correct you- but he has before. ONE GLANCE at stats or footage tells the clear story. Their running game was prime. Primary offensive reason. Obviously a great all-time D. Then a conservative, disciplined passing game. NOT Shannon scoring damn near all their points 🚫🧠
He and his brother are arguably the most athletic family duo ever. They didn’t mention they both benched over 500 and Sterling used to lift with the D line. Between speed and strength they were both Demi gods
The fact that he had that much success on a team that had two nice wr and a great rb shows how good he was he would’ve killed in todays game too fast and strong
One thing i would like to see improved in these "how good was he really" videos (and this is acroos all channels) is more of how good they actually were. This was a good video but it seemed likenit was 90% Broncos history with some Shannon stats sprinkled in. I would like more of how he was measuring up compared to ther tight ends, who were the guys that could argue they were better than him at his position? What strenghts and weaknesses separated them? He was one of the first and best receiving tight ends in a time where tight ends were expected to block a lot, how did he measure up with receivers? Stuff like that
Shannon gave his older brother Sterling (who retired because of injuries) some ultimate flowers during his HoF speech. Something like: "I'm the only player in the NFL Hall of Fame, who wasn't the best football player in his family."
Yeah Shannon Sharpe was the greatest not only with his athletic ability but also an acrobatic tight end. His movements is as sharpe and smooth as a symphony and cascading waterfall. He is the greatest of all time.
Shannon was a top 5 TE who could just take a game over Amanda of pure class character and Integrity Geat media personality ! I think Shannon oils be an absolute perfect fit to be the next NFL Commisioner so intelligent and effective communicator knows where players are coming from and would be the best NFL Commisioner ever can bring all sides together working as one and making the product we see on the field 100% better I can’t think of another person with his qualifications for the job!! I would love too see this happen !
He was dependable and always clutch. He was always 1 of the guys you never had to worry about. He was always going to show up. Was never selfish. He always laid it out on the line for the team. He's my 3rd favorite Bronco of All-Time. He's the GOAT TE. The only thing I disagree with him is his LeBron takes. LOL!
Shannon was a master at getting into the other teams head! Nobody talked trash like Shannon and backed it up! It was like the Incredible Hulk playing Tight end! I was Steelers fan who became huge fan of both Shannon and Sterling! Sterling was only just hitting his prime he was poetry in motion
THIS is why it was EXCRUCIATING to see him have to “bow down” to Skip’s bs. Shannon is a Player PLAYER! His takes are based on not just an athlete’s perspective, but that of a Great! And all Skip has is “I’ve been covering sports since i was in college”.
Just imagine the numbers he would put up if he played in todays era where the rules are very towards offense. In his time, the defense was allowed to be extremely physical. Very well made video Blitz!
Heck, he wasn’t even the best receiver in his own family! Seriously, though, he was very good indeed. A modern comp would be Mark Andrews. Big, strong, precise, reliable.
Nah to people who actually watch him play back in the day, he absolutely was a force in his first 3 years after his sophomore season and absolutely dipped the rest of his career. Not calling him mid not calling him great. Just good
He also had successful blocking when he needed to. He didn't only show that Tight Ends can be offensive weapons, but when he did block people he BLOCKED THEM HARD AND POWERFUL. If we could have got Ray Lewis and Shannon on the same team early in their careers that team would have won 7 or 8 Superbowls easily.
Good enough to be top 5 TE all time and good enough to change the way TE play and are covered for ever he diversified and changed the position of TE for ever so thank you Shannon for not only being the player your were but the person you are not gonna lie sports casting wouldn’t be the same without you to so thx uncle Shannon for everything you have done on and off the field.
There's something about that area around Glennville, Georgia. They raise some Hard, Strong and Tough Men(Wimmens Too) down around there & they LOVE Their Football. Even if Shannon was born in Chicago(Nobody's perfect), he was raised and grew up in Glennville, so as a loyal Georgian who knows that area well, I'm giving Glennville all the credit. It's a hard place to make a living, without Hard Work, and the accompanying Good Work Ethic. I remember seeing their "Mailman" a close and dear friend, walk his full Mail Route while trying to pass a Kidney Stone(Anybody who has has a Kidney Stone knows what that takes to overcome & still walk that kind of distance) he never missed a Day of Work, or a House that had Mail to be delivered or picked up. I'd love to say he was different, but just about everybody around there, during the late 60s & early 70s was that kind of person. "Nobody gave you anything. If you wanted it, you had to work your tail off for whatever it was", and the Sharpe Brothers were no exception. They worked hard for everything they got, and everything they got, they more than deserved. "There wasn't a lick of quit" in that pair of Brothers, and their NFL records spell that out in Capital Letters. Two more, better than just good people coming out of "The Peach State".
I remember in 1997-98, my mom was a huge Broncos fan. We were at the grocery store one night and they had one of those quarter machines that pop out a little capsule with a toy in it. Anyway it had football helmet fridge magnets. I put a quarter in and got a Denver Broncos helmet. Then I put another and I got an Atlanta Falcons helmet. That quarter machine predicted the Super Bowl lineup. My mom kept those helmets on the fridge for 20 years. That's like hitting the lottery type of luck.
Honestly facts. Considering era, run first offense, and how he was the first te to ever be a number 1 receiver on his team. I have him number 1, but l can see why others don’t
I truly loved when Shannon said in his HOF speech " I'm the first person in the HOF and I'm not even best player in my own family"
Awe
I cried like a baby when he spoke about and to Sterling. Shannon’s HOF speech is one of the Top 5 HOF speeches ever if not higher.
Deion’s is really good also. I was in my car during a lunch break and was straight up in tears listening to it
Sterling Sharpe is better thats why
@@BoxingLegends2024well yeah no shit but his neck injury caused him to retire

Repent and believe in the Gospel. Unless you repent you will all likewise perish. - Luke 13:3

My Man..... as a Broncos fan, that Green Bay win was the single best sports day of my life.... I went friggin NUTS!!
Sharpe was a beast in the NFL
Shannon was a master at getting into the other teams head! Nobody talked trash like Shannon and backed it up! It was like the Incredible Hulk playing Tight end! I was Steelers fan who became huge fan of both Shannon and Sterling! Sterling was only just hitting his prime he was poetry in motion
THIS is why it was EXCRUCIATING to see him have to “bow down” to Skip’s bs. Shannon is a Player PLAYER! His takes are based on not just an athlete’s perspective, but that of a Great! And all Skip has is “I’ve been covering sports since i was in college”.
Winslow CHANGED the position as we know it but Sharpe REVOLUTIONIZED it!!!
Just imagine the numbers he would put up if he played in todays era where the rules are very towards offense. In his time, the defense was allowed to be extremely physical. Very well made video Blitz!
Heck, he wasn’t even the best receiver in his own family! Seriously, though, he was very good indeed. A modern comp would be Mark Andrews. Big, strong, precise, reliable.
no shot. his modern day comp would be kittle or laporte. fast lean and competitive
A lie. Way better
@@DennisB-is4mjnah Sterling was a Beast. Had he not gotten hurt he'd be in the argument with Jerry Rice as the greatest receiver of All-time
I was talking the other tight ends he was talking about,,, not his brother
@@DennisB-is4mj it wasn't made clear what you were responding to
Sharpzilla!!! What a player. Top 5 all time TE. I love his podcast SHAY SHAY.... its awesome. Big love man from me at Sombor, Serbia.
This aged well
Fr bro I was looking for these type of comments 😂😂
always giving mad ups to sterling. that's some brotherly love right there.
He’s a hall of famer. Enough said.
Nah to people who actually watch him play back in the day, he absolutely was a force in his first 3 years after his sophomore season and absolutely dipped the rest of his career. Not calling him mid not calling him great. Just good
Great video I’m really enjoying this channel
He also had successful blocking when he needed to. He didn't only show that Tight Ends can be offensive weapons, but when he did block people he BLOCKED THEM HARD AND POWERFUL.
If we could have got Ray Lewis and Shannon on the same team early in their careers that team would have won 7 or 8 Superbowls easily.
Only Skip doesn’t know how great he was
Good enough to be top 5 TE all time and good enough to change the way TE play and are covered for ever he diversified and changed the position of TE for ever so thank you Shannon for not only being the player your were but the person you are not gonna lie sports casting wouldn’t be the same without you to so thx uncle Shannon for everything you have done on and off the field.
He was top 10 all time. He was a great TE.
There's something about that area around Glennville, Georgia. They raise some Hard, Strong and Tough Men(Wimmens Too) down around there & they LOVE Their Football. Even if Shannon was born in Chicago(Nobody's perfect), he was raised and grew up in Glennville, so as a loyal Georgian who knows that area well, I'm giving Glennville all the credit. It's a hard place to make a living, without Hard Work, and the accompanying Good Work Ethic. I remember seeing their "Mailman" a close and dear friend, walk his full Mail Route while trying to pass a Kidney Stone(Anybody who has has a Kidney Stone knows what that takes to overcome & still walk that kind of distance) he never missed a Day of Work, or a House that had Mail to be delivered or picked up. I'd love to say he was different, but just about everybody around there, during the late 60s & early 70s was that kind of person. "Nobody gave you anything. If you wanted it, you had to work your tail off for whatever it was", and the Sharpe Brothers were no exception. They worked hard for everything they got, and everything they got, they more than deserved. "There wasn't a lick of quit" in that pair of Brothers, and their NFL records spell that out in Capital Letters. Two more, better than just good people coming out of "The Peach State".
Unc could definitely finish
I see what you did there
youtube recommending me this today, you ain't slick
Damn he would have played his big brother in SB wow!
A lot of true fans know but dude doesn't get the respect he deserves. Top 2 tight end imo.
Great video on a true game-changer. 👍🏼
I remember in 1997-98, my mom was a huge Broncos fan. We were at the grocery store one night and they had one of those quarter machines that pop out a little capsule with a toy in it. Anyway it had football helmet fridge magnets. I put a quarter in and got a Denver Broncos helmet. Then I put another and I got an Atlanta Falcons helmet. That quarter machine predicted the Super Bowl lineup. My mom kept those helmets on the fridge for 20 years. That's like hitting the lottery type of luck.
Sharpe is the best tightend ever.
Honestly facts. Considering era, run first offense, and how he was the first te to ever be a number 1 receiver on his team. I have him number 1, but l can see why others don’t
Sharpe is one of the best to lace them up he was a beast with his route running and was always ready to play
Shannon was a beast bro
For someone who is not American nor understands NFL, those numbers mean nothing to me.
