The Kentucky native started his career at the University of Alabama, where he set multiple rushing records and established himself as one of the school’s program’s most prolific offensive players for the Crimson Tide. Shaun’s collegiate success led to his selection in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks.

Upon starting with Seattle, Shaun quickly became the star of the Seahawks’ offense, becoming one of the league’s most reliable backs. From 2001 through 2005, Shaun rushed for over 1,100 yards for five straight seasons. His breakout year came in 2005, though, when he led the NFL in rushing yards with 1,880. During that season, Shaun earned NFL MVP honors, becoming the first Seahawk to win the award. He helped Seattle reach its first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.

Shaun finished his triumphant career with 100 rushing touchdowns, ranking among the all-time leaders at the time of his retirement.
