On Saturday morning before we leave, Shannon Sharpe addresses the offense. He always gives a talk on Saturday morning before we review the film. Shannon’s a three-time Super Bowl winner: two in Denver and one in Baltimore. This is to be his last season in the NFL. He wants one more ring. During his monologue about everyone in the room having a job to do, he says, “Whether you’re Shannon Sharpe or you’re Nate Jackson, everyone has a role on this team.” I’m flattered that I popped into his head, even if it was when he needed the lowest man in the food chain. At least he knows my name.
