Jeremy Shockey career

The New York Giants selected Shockey with the 14th pick overall in the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft.

The first Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year was given to him, and in four of his first five seasons (2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006), he was selected for the Pro Bowl. He instantly flourished in the NFL. He served as one of the offensive passing targets for the Giants.

On October 12, 2005, Shockey extended his five-year contract with the Giants, becoming the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.

The agreement stated that Shockey will be paid $26.38 million through 2011. During the 2006 campaign, Shockey put forth yet another outstanding showing, catching 66 passes for 623 yards and tying a career-high with seven touchdown grabs. Shockey earned a spot in the Pro Bowl as a result of his work.

Shockey is well-known for his off-field antics as well as for his often abrasive comments about other players and the media, despite having excellent physical talents to run routes and make vital blocks.

The Giants went on to win the NFC championship and upset the previously unbeaten New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII after Shockey’s season-ending injury.

The team declared its intention to keep Shockey a Giant when the draft passed without such a transaction. Shockey was obviously displeased, though, during the team’s minicamp in June.

Shockey was traded by the Giants to the New Orleans Saints on July 21, 2008, in exchange for second and fifth-round picks in the upcoming NFL Draft.

In the 2008 NFL season, Shockey had a small role with the Saints, catching 50 passes for a career-low 483 yards and 0 touchdowns.

Shockey developed into a crucial offensive weapon for the Saints in 2009, hauling in 48 catches for 569 yards on an average of almost 12 yards per catch.

On March 3, 2011, Shockey agreed to a $4 million, one-year contract with the Panthers, with $1 million guaranteed.

For the young rookie quarterback Cam Newton, they made a wonderful dynamic pair together with Greg Olsen, who was traded from Chicago to Carolina.

The two tight end offense helped Cam Newton set a new record of 4,051 passing yards and elevated Carolina’s offense to the top ten.

Shockey played 15 games and caught 37 receptions for 455 yards and 4 touchdowns, averaging 12.3 yards per catch.
