Anyone buying Shazier?

How messed up would it have been had the pick he announced been an LB?

Bumping this thread after seeing him on stage tonight. Was great to see him on his feet but it's extremely difficult to see him returning to the field as a player.

I was thinking the same thing, skip.

Yeah, I would be shocked if he ever plays again. Hopefully he can become a coach in 2019.

I could see Edmunds being put into a Deone Bucannon-type role. So essentially, Shazier may very well have announced his replacement.


It was great to see him walk across that stage; however, it was painful to see that walk. His quads were buckling and you could see the two AFOs (ankle/foot orthosis) to help with his probable foot drop. I wish the man well, but I never want to see him on the football field again. There are bigger things in life than playing football.

He's never playing again.

Steelers apparently converted his 2018 salary to a guaranteed signing bonus. That was nice of them..

As a Raiders fan, I do not like the Steelers - but I cannot root against Shazier.

He apparently wants to be back in 2019.. That would surprise me.

I would say it's a long shot for him to return,but I am roothing for him.

I think he should take advantage of his second chance at walking, and just try to enjoy normal life. I think ever playing football again would be the last thing on my mind after an injury like this. Gotta just be grateful and move on and maybe be a coach if you want to stay on the field.

99.9% sure his career is over. I'm pulling for him as hard as anybody out there, and I don't even like the Steelers. I think it is more likely that he becomes a coach and/or a motivational speaker like Inky Johnson. Even if his playing career is over, there is still so much he can do!
