After finishing at Texas, he was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2015. He spent the entire 2015 season on the Arizona Cardinals practice squad and when the season was over, he was signed to a futures contract in January 2016. After suffering an injury in training camp, Shipley was cut in September 2016.

College career

Shipley came to Texas as a known name due to the success his brother Jordan had there. Jordan was the top target of quarterback Colt McCoy and coincidentally, Shipley became a top target of McCoy's younger brother Case. Shipley had one of the best freshmen years of any Texas wide receiver finishing with the second-most receptions (44), yards (607) and touchdown catches (3) of any freshman in school history. He made the 2011 Yahoo! Sports Freshman All-America Second Team. [2]

A standout student, he made the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll five times and was a 2013 Academic All-Big 12 choice. [2]

He was a prolific receiver for the rest of his career and was a two-time watch list member for the Biletnikoff Award (2013–14). [2]

Professional career

Shipley signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2015. [3] Despite some good performances in preseason games, he was cut by the Cardinals but was signed to the practice squad the next day. [4] [5] [6]

He suffered an injury in training camp and dropped some passes in the first two pre-season games. [7] On September 3, 2016, he was released by the Cardinals having just missed out on the last receiver spot. [8] [9]
