Inductees

Selected out of the University of Nebraska, Shields was the third-round (74th overall) pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1993 NFL Draft. Beginning in 1993, Shields was in the Chiefs’ starting lineup for every game, a team record and the second-longest consecutive starting streak in the NFL behind Brett Favre. Shields started 230 straight games including playoff games and established a franchise record streak of 12 consecutive Pro Bowl appearances, the most by any player in Kansas City history. In 2003, Shields was the recipient of the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for his work in the “Will to Succeed” Foundation, the charitable organization he started in 1993.
