I work as a valet/bellman at a resort here in Orlando. (Can't really say which one because one of you guys might be a creepy spy who will get me canned for interacting with a celebrity, which is a huge no-no). My friend asked me if anyone played for the dolphins named Shelton. He said he just checked someone in who was huge, and had a Dolphins sticker on his beamer. When he asked him if he went to the Dolphins games, the guy said "yeah, all of them". I kept an eye out to see if it was L.J. Shelton, and sure enough he came down for checkout this morning and I recognized that it was in fact him. I went up to him and shook his hand right away. I know everyone always talks about how "down to earth" these guys are, but he really was one of the nicest most humble guys ever. He seemed really flattered that I recognized him, and he talked to me for a good few minutes. I told him he was looking good our there, and he thanked me a lot, and told me about how he was heading back down to get ready for practice tomorrow. The best part was when I asked him if he was ready for Thursday, and he said "oh yeah" like coming out and dominating was a sure thing. The cool thing was he even went out of his way to find me again and say goodbye before he drove off. I'd been waiting a while to get Dolphin in our hotel, and I'm glad it was Shelton. My confidence for Thursday increased tenfold after our conversations.
 
Great story!

..and the fact he went out of his way to say goodbye, was definitely cool!
 
Killer story man. Its nice to hear a story about a player being down to earth and nice to the fans.
 
Not sure if I want our O-lineman being 'nice guys' :lol:

Oh well as long as he has a mean streak on the field, great story
