Here is a Bleacher Report pre-draft article on Saheen. It is a bit long but an easy read and give some insight into the kid. Seems dedicated and a hard worker. Hopefully that means a successful transition into the pro game.
It's too long to post completely but here are a couple of snips.
You might know him as the Chipotle guy.
You don't know who he is or where he came from, and you might not even know what position he plays. You can't remember his name—Andrew? Aaron? Adam? Adam! Adam Something!—but you know he made headlines—a lot of headlines—at the NFL Scouting Combine when, asked how he gained 70-odd pounds in college, he smirked and chalked it up to good-old American fast food.
"Um, a lot of Chipotle burritos," he quipped.
They laughed, and so did he.
"No," he added, getting semi-serious. "In all honesty, it was a lot of burritos."
The obscure draft prospect did elaborate, noting that consistency in the weight room was also essential to gaining the bulk he was displaying for all 32 NFL teams at the league's annual predraft showcase, but that second clause was buried by the first one.

Adam Shaheen is a very big man
He didn't used to be so big, hence the whole Chipotle thing. But after making steady gains during his three-year tenure at Ashland, Shaheen enters the draft as the largest tight end prospect in his class at 6'6", 278 pounds.
When he's drafted—and the latest mock draft from Bleacher Report's Matt Miller projects he'll be a third-round pick—he'll immediately become the NFL's second-largest tight end, smaller only than Darren Fells of the Detroit Lions (6'7", 281 pounds).
