Being in love with football as long as he can remember, Sharod joined the collegiate sports scene, in 2009, he began helping his alma maters football team (Coastal Carolina University) as a Student Video Assistant. He quickly transitioned into an on-the-field role in the spring of that year working as a Defensive Student Assistant. Through repetition, he taught himself how to evaluate players. And under the guidance of the Coastal coaching staff, he learned the nuances of scouting\/recruiting players. Sharod embraced and thoroughly enjoyed all things player evaluations.<\/span><\/p>

After graduation Sharod received an opportunity to intern at the University of California – Berkley, in 2013 as an Olympic Sports and Operations Intern. He assisted in helping plan logistics for numerous events like the Cal Classic in Ruby Hill for Women\u2019s Golf, the Brutus Hamilton Invitational Challenge, travel to the\u00a0 Pac-12 Outdoor Championships for Track & Field, and the Women\u2019s Basketball Final Four send-off. Sharod missed working in Football, so he expressed interest in working in Cal\u2019s recruiting department. He joined the Cal Bears Football team during spring practice as a Football Recruiting Intern. He received a chance to evaluate top-tier prospects working for a PAC-12 school. Sharod added professional sports to his resume getting an opportunity to work for the previously named Oakland Raiders as a Football Operations Training Camp Intern. Through diligence and hard work, he was invited to stay on as a full-season intern with the Raiders where he helped with the day-to-day activities for the Raiders football staff. Some of those duties included filming offensive and defensive line one-on-one\u2019s at practice, helping with away game travel logistics, and assisting with various tasks given by the Raiders coaching staff.<\/span><\/p>

After the conclusion of the full-season internship with the Raiders,\u00a0 he received a Football Operations Assistant position with the Minnesota Vikings in 2015. In Minnesota, he continued adding more duties to his resume like being the main point of contact for each visiting team\u2019s Football Operations \u201cAdvance\u201d staff.\u00a0 In that role he was responsible for ensuring that teams knew the logistical layout of an unfamiliar facility since the Vikings played in a temporary facility (The University of Minnesota\u2019s TCF Bank Stadium). He also began watching film regularly with former Cleveland Brown Defensive End, Stanford Head Football Coach, and current Vikings Senior Consultant for Pro Personnel Paul Wiggin. This furthered his evaluation knowledge. Sharod also helped plan and execute every detail in the Viking\u2019s yearly training camp stay in Mankato at Minnesota State University. This included creating a rooming list for all players, and even setting up a mobile barbershop outside of the players\u2019 quarters for haircuts.<\/span><\/p>

In 2017, Sharod had the opportunity to work for a team near his hometown and for the first time this allowed his family to see his work firsthand. First, he helped assist former Wide Reciever and then Director of Player Development, Mark Carrier, with his non-profit and assisted with the league-wide \u201cROOKIE TRANSITION PROGRAM\u201d which took the place of the NFL\u2019s Rookie Symposium. He assisted and helped with the execution for many of the rookie player outings and events. Next, he added Pro Scouting Assistant to his title. He received first-hand mentoring from the Pro Scouting Staff and assisted with things like Free Agent visits, weekly Tuesday tryouts, and was actually a part of the evaluations with the rest of the Panthers pro scouting staff. He helped with NFL Draft preparation and was in the war room assisting coaches, scouting staff, and ownership during the draft.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In August of 2018, Sharod received an opportunity to work for ESPN as an NFL Researcher for Monday Night Football and Sunday NFL Countdown. He complied statistical analysis, as well as, football film study to give weekly reports to on-air staff like; NFL Hall of Famers Randy Moss, Steve Young, and College Football Hall of Famer, Charles Woodson, for both shows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Today, Sharod is working on an invention based on his time and experience in the NFL. He hopes to share his endeavor with former players and the masses once it is complete.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
