Two-time Pro Bowl NFL Linebacker, Ryan Shazier, was selected 15th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2014. Knownfor his positivity and toughness on and off the field, Shazier’s resilience is inspiring as he continues to make progress after suffering a spinal injury during a game versus the Bengals in December 2017. After announcing his retirement in 2020, Shazier continued to pursue his passion for football by calling college football games for ESPN.

Committed to giving back to others, Shazier founded the Ryan Shazier Fund for Spinal Rehabilitation dedicated to giving those with spinal cord injuries and their caregivers the support, resources, and funding they need to live independent and meaningful lives. Family is everything to Shazier and his wife, Michelle. Shazier is a proud father of two boys: Ryan “RJ” and Lyon.

In addition to his many titles, Shazier added author, Regional Emmy Award Winning Host and business owner to his resume after retiring from the NFL.
