Sterling Sharpe’s top football honor came at USC. Why he stays away from the program

Sterling Sharpe had an incredible college career at South Carolina and NFL career with the Green Bay Packers before his playing days were cut short because of a neck injury.

Sharpe broke numerous receiving records for the Gamecocks and made the Pro Bowl five times with the Packers during his seven years in the NFL. He was a first-team all-pro selection three times and is in the Packers Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

One honor sticks out above the rest for Sharpe, who spoke with The State at the BMW Charity Pro-Am held in Greenville earlier this summer.
