Shaun Cody
Shaun Cody: Color analyst, Restauranteur...& Beekeeper? The 8-year pro, who spent his final four seasons with the Texans from 2009 through 2012, is back home in Southern California. These days, the father of three divides his time between opening a restaurant, beekeeping and gardening at home, and serving as the radio color analyst at his alma mater, USC.
Cody signed his National Letter of Intent to play for the Trojans in 2001, USC's fortunes under head coach Pete Carroll took a major turn for the better. The 2004 season culminated in a National Championship, as Cody and the Trojans thrashed Oklahoma, 55-19 in the Orange Bowl to finish 13-0. Cody was a team captain that year, tallied 10 sacks, and picked up the Pac-10 Co-Defensive Player of the Year award.
Cody was drafted by the Lions in 2005, and played in Detroit through 2008. He signed with Houston in the spring of 2009, and enjoyed being on a 9-7 club that season, after going winless the year before in the Motor City. A back-and-forth Week 2 win at Tennessee, which included fisticuffs on the sidelines, was an eye-opening introduction to the AFC South rivalry. Cody even got fined.
His 'On the Nose with Shaun Cody' video series those last two years offered a glimpse into the fun times in those locker rooms, and put some unique personalities on display to the fans.
Now, he's back on the air as a color commentator for the radio broadcasts of Trojan football. A free spirit in general, Cody said he buckles down and gets serious about his task on the air.
