Coach Connor Shaw takes the field for first time at Furman

Connor Shaw’s NFL career is officially over, but at least one part of Friday reminded him of his days in professional football.

“I feel like I’m still in Chicago,” the former South Carolina quarterback said after his first day on the practice field as Furman’s tight ends coach.

That was because of the weather, a temperature that fell below 40 by the time the workout was over and whipping winds most of the afternoon. Other than that, everything else was different for Shaw, who took the field without a helmet for the first time since he was 6 years old.
