Adam Shaheen’s college coach: ‘His ceiling for greatness is unbelievable’

Lee Owens has coached at Division II Ashland since 2004, but before that, he was a head coach at Akron and an offensive line assistant at Ohio State.

During those two stops, Owens coached 2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Jason Taylor and 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Orlando Pace. And, as a side note, in 2007 Owens hired Matt LaFleur to be Ashland’s offensive coordinator. A decade later, LaFleur is now the offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams.

Can Adam Shaheen, the hulking 6-foot-6, 278 pound second-round pick of the Bears, follow in those others’ footsteps?
