[3] He finished two degrees at Berkley, including his master's degree in education and declared for the NFL draft but was not selected. [3] Sheahan's master's degree was focused on the administrative side of education and he aspires to be an athletic director at an American college. [3] He has battled with mental health issues and Sheahan sees himself as an advocate for the issue saying "We’ve got to stop this idea where (we) can't talk about it.
