Temple’s Intense Three-Year LB Starter Now Retired Due to Neck Injury
Shaun Bradley, the 6-1, 235-pound middle linebacker from Temple, was a fierce three-year starter who racked up 256 college tackles and earned a coveted single-digit number as a team leader. Known for his high intensity, leadership, and special teams ace status, he was drafted by the Eagles in 2020 (196th overall) but never played a regular-season NFL game due to a torn Achilles (2020) and worsening neck injury (2022). He retired in 2025 after stints with KC and Houston. While his college strengths—intensity, tackling volume, and leadership—make him a great fit for any team seeking a hard-nosed LB, his injury history means he is no longer active and unavailable for play.
