He has also spent time on the practice squads of the Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos.
Shepherd played in 57 career games four seasons (2015-18) at North Dakota State, catching 188 passes for 2,841 yards (15.1 avg.) and 20 touchdowns. He added 219 rushing yards and a touchdown on 31 carries, while also returning 44 punts for 578 yards (13.1 avg.), including an 84-yard touchdown.
