Retired football star Shannon Sharpe is known for his days playing in the NFL — and winning titles. The tight end played in the league for 14 seasons, mostly with the Denver Broncos. Sharpe played college football at Savannah State University before being selected by the Broncos in the 1990 NFL Draft.
After winning three Super Bowl championships, Sharpe pivoted and became an on-air analyst for the CBS Sports show The NFL Today and he co-hosted Fox Sports’ talk show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed with Skip Bayless.
In June, Sharpe announced that after seven years he will no longer be on the Undisputed. He wrote: “Though I may not be at that particular table when you turn on your television, if you click through the channels I’m sure you’ll find me somewhere.”
Sharpe, 55, added: “This is no end just the beginning of something new. The work is never done.”
Since his departure from Undisputed, Sharpe has been posting a lot on Instagram — photos of him coming and going in fashion-forward ensembles, as seen above and below. “Always on the go,” he often writes.
When not being chauffeured, Sharpe drives his new 2023 limited edition Dodge “Black Ghost.” Sharpe reports that when Dodge announced it was making its “last call for Hellcats,” he decided to “get me a special one.”
Meet “Black Ghost” 🖤🖤 Due to @Dodge announcing their Last Call for all Hellcats. I decided to get me a special one. This edition is called “Black Ghost” it is an 807hp Supercharged V8 with limited production of only 300. Make that 299, because I got me 1! #blackghost… pic.twitter.com/Vw6GE4cPfC

With the video above, Sharpe notes: “This edition is called “Black Ghost” it is an 807hp Supercharged V8 Challenger w/ limited production of only 300. Make that 299, because I got me 1!”
When gridiron legend and Fox Sports personality Reggie Bush saw the post, he replied: “You don’t want the smoke with the Model X Plaid 🏎️💨”
The car race Bush proposes — his Model X Plaid vs. Sharpe’s new Black Ghost Hellcat — would feature an incredible combined 1,827 horsepower at the starting line. (Bush should win off the line, with 1,020 of the hp.)
Car and Driver described the Black Ghost as “a muscle-bound goon built to go fast in a straight line and annoy the next-door neighbors with the BMW… And while the Black Ghost isn’t exactly agile, neither is it a one-trick machine like the muscle cars of yore.”
But some of it has to be in the drivers, right? NFL gentlemen, start your engines…
