Shareece Wright was drafted in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. Over eight seasons he played for four teams and was signed by six. 79 games. 255 tackles. 36 passes defensed.
After retiring from professional football, Shareece redirected his platform toward keynote speaking, fentanyl awareness, survivor advocacy, and youth mentorship. He coaches the varsity secondary at Aquinas High School in San Bernardino, CA, and founded the RENEE Foundation in memory of his mother, Lavette Renea Butts, who died from a fentanyl overdose caused by a counterfeit pill.
Shareece is also an investor in "As Deep as the Grave," the first feature film to resurrect a deceased actor entirely through AI.
February 2024
Shareece came forward publicly as one of 12 former Colton High players to file a lawsuit over alleged childhood sexual abuse by a school athletic trainer. He gave a national television interview on ESPN's Outside the Lines, voluntarily disclosing his experience to create space for other survivors.
Going public took courage. It also opened doors for other survivors who needed to see someone like them speak first.
May 2017
After his connecting flight out of Chicago O'Hare was cancelled late Sunday night, Shareece opened the Uber app and requested a ride to Buffalo, New York. An Iranian refugee named Hadi Abdollahian accepted. Nine hours and $632 later, Shareece arrived at 1 Bills Drive at 6:58 AM, two minutes before his first voluntary OTA with the Buffalo Bills.
His agent Tam tweeted about it, Shareece posted the receipt, and it went viral. Bills sponsor Bluerock Energy covered the fare. Shareece forwarded the reimbursement to Hadi.
