Joshua James Shaw (born March 27, 1992) is an American football cornerback who is a free agent. He previously played for the Cincinnati Bengals between 2015 and 2017. Shaw also played college football at the University of Southern California (USC).

Early life

[edit]

Shaw attended Palmdale High School in Palmdale, California. He played cornerback, quarterback, and wide receiver. As a senior, he had 50 tackles and an interception on defense, passed for 2,279 yards with 18 touchdowns as a quarterback, and rushed for 921 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. He also participated in track. He was rated by Rivals.com as a four-star recruit and was ranked as the third best cornerback in his class.[1] He committed to the University of Florida to play college football.[2]

College career

[edit]

Shaw attended Florida from 2010 to 2011. He appeared in one game as a true freshman and redshirted. As a redshirt freshman in 2011, he appeared in 10 games with one start and recorded 22 tackles. Prior to the 2012 season, Shaw transferred to the University of Southern California (USC).[3][4] He was granted a hardship waiver and was eligible to play immediately without sitting out the year.[5][6] He started his USC career as a strong safety and was moved to cornerback during the middle of the season and became a starter.[7] He appeared in all 13 games with seven starts and had 30 tackles and two interceptions. As a junior in 2013, Shaw started all 14 games at both cornerback and safety. He had 67 tackles, four interceptions, and a touchdown.

Prior to his senior season in August 2014, Shaw was suspended by USC after he lied about how he suffered injuries to both his ankles.[8][9] He had originally told the team that he injured himself while jumping from the second story of an apartment building to save his nephew who was drowning in a pool. In reality, he suffered the injuries after jumping from his balcony to avoid the police who had been called by a neighbor after hearing an argument between him and his girlfriend.[10][11] The police looked into possible domestic violence charges; however, no charges were filed due to insufficient evidence.[12][13] Shaw was reinstated in November 2014 and played in the final three games of the season.[14]

Professional career

[edit]

Cincinnati Bengals

[edit]

On May 2, 2015, the Cincinnati Bengals selected Shaw in the fourth round with the 120th pick of the 2015 NFL draft.[18] He signed with the Bengals on May 18, 2015.[19] Shaw played 15 games in his rookie year with 15 tackles and one pass defended.

During the season opener against the New York Jets on September 11, 2016, Shaw made a game-sealing interception. It was the first interception of his career, leading to a 23–22 victory.

On September 1, 2018, Shaw was placed on injured reserve.[20] He was released on September 6, 2018.

Kansas City Chiefs

[edit]

On October 2, 2018, Shaw was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs.[21] He was waived on November 17, 2018[22] after playing a total of four games for the Chiefs.[23]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

[edit]

On November 20, 2018, Shaw was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[24] He played a total of four games for the Buccaneers.[23]

Arizona Cardinals

[edit]

On March 18, 2019, Shaw signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals.[23] He was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury on August 25, 2019.[25]

On November 29, 2019, Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Shaw indefinitely through at least the end of the 2020 season for betting on NFL games.[26] Shaw made a low four-figure bet in Las Vegas on a three-team parlay (including a bet against his Cardinals team) at a sportsbook run by Caesars Entertainment.[27] Some viewed the suspension as hypocritical[27] as the NFL had previously made Caesars Entertainment its first official casino partner earlier in the year.[28]

Shaw filed an appeal of the suspension on December 3 but rescinded it on December 19. As a result, he was moved from injured reserve to the reserve/suspended list. Shaw was eligible to apply for reinstatement on February 15, 2021,[29] and the NFL reinstated him on March 20, 2021[30] after being suspended for a total of 21 games.[31] Shaw has not played in the NFL since his reinstatement.[32]

Birmingham Stallions

[edit]

On March 10, 2022, Shaw was drafted by the Birmingham Stallions of the United States Football League.[33] He suffered a quadriceps injury,[34] and was transferred to the inactive roster on April 22, 2022.[35] He was transferred to the active roster on April 30.[36]
