  • Rashid Shaheed - From Weber State to a Super Bowl Champion

    Rashid Shaheed - From Weber State to a Super Bowl Champion
    Mar 26 2026
    In February 2016, Rashid Shaheed signed to play football at Weber State out of high school. A decade later, he is a Super Bowl champion. Shaheed became the only four-time All-American in Weber State history and cemented himself as one of the greatest players ever to wear a Wildcat uniform. Since leaving Weber State in 2021, Shaheed has developed into an NFL standout, earning All-Pro honors and two Pro Bowl selections. In 2026, he reached the pinnacle of the sport, winning a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks. In the latest episode of the ‘Cat Tales’ podcast with Paul Grua, Shaheed reflects on his remarkable journey—from signing with Weber State to becoming a Super Bowl champion. He discusses his growth as a player, his transition to the NFL, and his experiences in New Orleans and Seattle, including a mid-season trade, a new contract, and his “welcome to the NFL” moment. He also shares memories from his time at Weber State, his success returning kicks, and his passion for mentoring younger players. In four NFL seasons, Shaheed has earned two Pro Bowl selections while appearing in 51 regular season games with 32 starts. He has recorded three punt return touchdowns and one kickoff return touchdown, along with 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns. In the playoffs, he added a kickoff return touchdown in Seattle’s win over San Francisco. From 2017 to 2021, Shaheed played in 53 games at Weber State, helping lead the Wildcats to four consecutive Big Sky titles and four FCS Playoff appearances, including the semifinals in 2019. He remains the only player in school history to earn All-America honors four times and is one of just four players to be named first-team All-Big Sky four times. Shaheed finished his collegiate career as the FCS all-time leader in kickoff return touchdowns with seven and holds Weber State’s record for career kickoff return average at 29 yards. He totaled 5,478 all-purpose yards—third most in school history—and ranks third in punt return yardage. He also finished seventh in receiving yards (2,178) with 18 touchdowns and ranks 10th in career receptions with 147.
