Shannon Sharpe is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for a reason. He is considered by many as the greatest tight end of all time. Sharpe was the first tight end to accumulate 10,000 receiving yards. He played most of his career in Denver and won two Super Bowls with the Broncos. If there is a Mt. Rushmore of tight ends, Sharpe will be there.

However, he doesn’t think of himself as Mt. Rushmore-worthy TE. In the podcast New Heights, hosted by Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, Sharpe was asked about his Mt. Rushmore for TEs. While naming the four best tight ends of all time, Sharpe left himself out and named Travis Kelce, Rob Gronkowski, Kellen Winslow Sr. and Antonio Gates.

When asked why he didn’t put himself on the list, Sharpe said “Nah I’m good. I did what I did. I put it like this, and I mean no disrespect to anybody, I ain’t trading my career with anybody’s. I know there’s no question in my mind, in my 14 years, I got everything out of my god given ability. So that’s all I could ask.”
