Jeremy Shockey - 2002 Draft Day Picks
After a stellar high school career Shockey decided to take his game to the University of Miami. The school has a long history of developing great tight ends, and Shockey knew that he could be next in line if he put in the proper amount of time. Although he did not get to do much as a freshman, during his sophomore season things began to change. This was particularly true after he caught the game winning touchdown pass against hated rival Florida State. Shockey's performance during his sophomore season led him to being named first team All-Big East by the coaches in the conference, as well as several national publications.
As a junior in 2001 Shockey was an integral part in helping the Hurricanes to win the National Championship. During that season he led the team with 45 receptions for more than 600 yards. He also added 8 touchdowns in 2001. After the season Shockey was again showered with awards, which in turn led him to declaring his eligibility for the 2002 NFL Draft.
Shockey was selected by the New York Giants with the 14th overall pick in the draft. He began to impress early on, and this led to him winning the Pepsi Rookie of the Year Award. During four of his first five seasons Shockey was named to the NFL Pro Bowl team. He has already established himself as one of the best tight ends in the league.
