The Chicago Bears were the first NFL team that became interested in Edell Shephard and they also sent him over to the Scottish Claymores.
From 2003 until 2005 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the home of Edell Shepherd where the fans saw him on 18 games.
And in 2006 he went to the Houston Texans, where he did finish his NFL carrer despite further attempts to get on the rosters in Denver and in Detroit.
