Additionally, his footwork and inborn ability to use his gigantic bulk to box out his opponents have been described as top-notch. With his exceptional hands, hand-eye coordination, and natural willingness to block, the tight ender poses an insurmountable barrier for the opponent.
Adam Shaheen initially looked like a bean pole when he first joined professional football but with more efforts in the workroom and a voracious eating habit, he gradually transformed his body into the great hunk we see today.

His parents are of North American origin but gave birth to Adam in the United States of America where the family currently resides.
