The Lions also received Denver's seventh-round draft pick for 2010. On October 22, 2013, Scheffler was released by the Lions after suffering his third concussion in four years earlier in the month. On June 11, 2014, Scheffler announced his retirement, citing the concussions he sustained as a key reason. He signed three contracts during his career and subsequently earned $12,194,000 in his eight-year career in the NFL. Barstool Backyard Basketball Game On September 28th, 2013, Scheffler competed in a 2 on 1 basketball game vs Dave Portnoy and Daniel "Big Cat" Katz of Barstool Sports. Despite Scheffler having a big lead the entire game, Portnoy's hot shooting earned the Barstool bloggers a comeback 11-10 victory. Famous NBA father Dell Curry would later say it was the greatest shooting expedition he's ever seen. After the loss, an irate Scheffler refused to shake hands and was last seen punting the basketball into a dense forest.
