For some NFL players, a career in the sports media world is something that isn't for them, but for Shannon Sharpe, he took to it like a duck to water. He made his name with Skip on Fox Sports' "Undisputed," and his stock rose, it seemed, with each passing day.

Not only do people love how he goes about his job, but the fact that he is a former player (and a Hall of Famer), naturally when he talks about football, people listen, and what he says has merit.

Such was his popularity that Sharpe, for some, outgrew Bayless and "Undisputed," hence the reason he moved on.

Now with ESPN and Stephen. A. Smith, Sharpe has again gone up a level in his "second career." It is all down to Sharpe's hard work and the fact that millions of people now follow him on TV as well as on social media.

He is now one of the most sought-after sports personalities on the planet, and his next stop as ESPN gives Sharpe another chance at increasing his stock further.
