Sharpe, the younger brother of former NFL wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, grew up in Glennville, Georgia, where he was an all-state athlete in three sports at Glennville High School. Sharpe once joked, “We were so poor, a robber once broke into our house, and we ended up robbing the robber.” He stated, “I was a terrible student. I didn’t graduate with magna cum laude; I graduated with ‘Thank you, Lawdy!’”
Sharpe was one of 17 finalists considered for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2009. In his first year, he was passed over in a class that included Bruce Smith, Ralph Wilson, Derrick Thomas, and Rod Woodson.
