Malcolm Sheppard has bragging rights with his colleagues in law enforcement in the heart of Tennessee this week.
A deputy sheriff in Williamson County just south of Nashville, Sheppard would like to extend that to some old college and NFL rivals, too, this week when Arkansas travels to play No. 6 Florida in Gainesville.
Sheppard played two seasons in the NFL, splitting his time with the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans. He started on the defensive line four years (2006-09) for the Razorbacks, serving as team captain his final two seasons.
“Since I finished my NFL time at Tennessee and stayed in the Nashville area, I have a lot of friends who are Tennessee Vols fans,” Sheppard said.
