92%ers we are back with another episode of New Heights presented by our friends at Fireball.

Shannon talks with the guys about how his mentoring relationship with Travis started (07:20), how the secret to Tight End success might be all in the hips (14:30), and who is on Shannon's TE Mt. Rushmore. (21:00)

We dive into how Shannon was almost cut from the Broncos (35:11), which records he doesn't think anyone will ever touch (31:15), why he'd be putting up "Travis numbers" in the modern NFL (46:15), and why he'd swap places with his brother Sterling if given the chance (01:06:05).

Shannon also gives us his thoughts on the 2000s Raven's defense (01:17:25), if anyone in the NFL would block for Skip Bayless (01:22:55), why LeBron James wouldn't be a great NFL Tight End (01:24:15), and what advice he'd give his rookie self (01:26:35).
