Appearing in 18 games while making nine starts as a New Orleans Saint and four starts as a Seahawk, the former Weber State product finished the 2025 regular season with 59 receptions for 687 yards and two touchdowns, to go with a kick return touchdown and a punt return touchdown combined with his time with the Saints. The Seahawks would defeat New England, 29-13, to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n<p>Shaheed originally entered the league as an undrafted pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
