AQ Shipley’s Long Journey from Happy Valley to the Super Bowl

His name may not come up as frequently as Curt Warner, Kerry Collins, LaVar Arrington or Saquon Barkley. But looking back at the last decade-and-a-half, AQ Shipley belongs right up there with many of the greats to come out of Happy Valley.

The entirety of Shipley’s career always seemed to unpredictable from one moment to the next. It’s a testament of Shipley’s desire and ability that he has spent his career proving others wrong, while finding success at every turn.

Shipley arrived in State College prior to the 2005 season, with no clear home. He went back and forth from offense to defense, trying to find the right fit.
