Will Shields will eventually get into the Hall of Fame. The NFL Committee would be making a huge mistake by not allowing a 12 time Pro Bowler (Shields being the only Chief to enter the Pro Bowl every single year of his career) and arguably one of the 10 best offensive linemen ever into the HOF. Also, he was second behind Brett Favre for most consecutive career starts with 231 games started, including the playoffs, when he retired in 2006.

Remember that this was Shields' first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame, so there's always next year. One of this year's recipients, Jack Butler, had been retired since 1961. Plus, Chiefs Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas had been dead nearly 9 years before he got inducted (got in during his 5th year of eligibility in 2009).
