Early life
After growing up in Lake Havasu City, Arizona and attending Lake Havasu High School for two years,[1] Sheehy-Guiseppi moved to Traverse City, Michigan and attended St. Francis High School.[2]

After receiving a tip about the location of the Cleveland Browns free agent workout, he decided to take his chances to try out for the team, despite not receiving an invitation.[5] By Sheehy-Guiseppi's own admission, he was only allowed at the workout by claiming to know Cleveland Browns Vice President of Player Personnel Alonzo Highsmith, and he impressed Highsmith enough to be invited to another tryout for the Browns a week later.[2] The Browns officially signed him on April 5, 2019.[6] During the team's OTAs, he competed for the kick returner position with Antonio Callaway, Dontrell Hilliard and D'Ernest Johnson.[7]
