Shepard, who spent his first four seasons with the Buccaneers, is coming off his best season. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound wideout started four games for Tampa Bay, posting 23 catches for 341 yards and two touchdowns – all career highs.
But Shepard, who was undrafted coming out of Louisiana State, first made a name for himself in the NFL as a productive special teams player. In 2014, he led the Buccaneers with 14 special teams tackles and he was named special teams captain each of the past two seasons.
