Will Shields
Shields (born September 15, 1971 in Fort Riley, Kansas) is a former American football offensive guard who played his entire NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs. In 14 seasons, Shields never missed a game, and he failed to start only one contest, his first regular-season outing, as a rookie in 1993. Shields is widely considered a first-ballot hall of famer once he becomes eligible.
Shields was a consensus first team All-American and Outland Trophy winner during his final year at the University of Nebraska in 1992. He was selected as the Kansas City Chiefs’third-round (74th overall) pick in the 1993 NFL Draft. He started in 230 straight games, beginning with the September 12, 1993 game against the Houston Oilers. This is a team record and the second longest consecutive starting streak in the NFL behind Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers. He went to the Pro Bowl every year from 1995 to 2006, a total of 12, also a Chiefs team record. Shields played an integral role in leading the Chiefs offensive to consistently being one of the top 5 rushing offenses in the league.
In 2003 Shields was the recipient of the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for his work in The “Will to Succeed” Foundation, a charitable organization he started in 1993. On April 15, 2007, following 14 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, he announced his retirement from pro football. In July of 2007 Will headed up a small investment group that purchased the former Dales Athletic Club, now 68’s Inside Sports.
