Sterling Shepard may wish his NFL career wasn’t ending. It most likely did, though, on Sunday. It was quite the sendoff for the veteran wide receiver, a 2016 second-round pick who spent his entire career with the New York Giants.
Shepard caught three passes to give him 372 for his career, moving him past Jeremy Shockey and into fifth place on the franchise’s all-time receptions list.
Shepard had said recently that running out of the MetLife Stadium tunnel was his favorite thing as an NFL player. The Giants introduced Shepard to the MetLife Stadium crowd last as a 12th offensive starter, allowing him the spotlight in what is likely his final NFL game.
