Not only all that, but Sharpe was a trailblazer in the wat he was used. While he caught passes downfield, Green Bay also used him as a de facto running back, throwing him a lot of quick passes at the LOS and letting him beat defenders with his strength and quickness. This was before it became a widespread part of West Coast (and now all) offenses, and moreover, a lot of the plays were not designed to get two or three blockers out on the edge with him, but were merely designed to use Sharpe's skills in beating defenders by himself. He was at once a guy who could run all the routes at all depths, and a guy who would often bruise his way for a few extra yards. He had a short career, but, hey, Howie Long.
