What It Means:

The 6'7", 278 pound Shaheen played college hoops at Pittsburgh-Johnstown in 2013 before walking onto D-II Ashland’s football team. Shaheen was used extensively as a pass blocker at Ashland, dominating his lower-level competition as a true two-way tight end. Shaheen does have concerning change-of-direction skills and is making a colossal jump in competition. Zach Miller could see a reduced role after finishing with a career-high 64 targets in 2016.

Shaheen racked up 1,755 yards and 26 touchdowns on 129 catches in his Ashland career.
