Shawne Merriman is a former NFL All-Pro & ProBowl linebacker for the Los Angeles Chargers. Shawne’s story is another reminder that you don’t have to be defined by your circumstances. He overcame enormous odds to become one of the best pass-rushers the NFL has ever seen. After growing up in Washington, D.C., Merriman decided to stay home & play college ball at Maryland, despite being highly recruited by more prestigious football schools. During Freshman orientation Shawne is famously known for looking his coaches & teammates in the eyes and saying, “I’m playing three years & going pro.” He did just that.

Since retiring from the NFL, Shawne has become a successful entrepreneur under the brand “Lights Out” — a nickname he was given after knocking four opponents out in a single high school football game (this was quite the story). He is the founder of Lights Out Extreme Fighting ( @LightsOutXF ), now airing on Fubo Sports. This story gave me chills the entire hour. Enjoy!
