Chiefs Will Shields. Kansas City Chief. Hall of Fame

**Iowanian** · 07:19 PM

...worthy of discussion on Chiefsplanet.

Will Shields was a dominant component of a dominant offensive line during the glory days in the 90s. Watching him pull and flatten DEs and LBs that got into his way was awesome. My favorite was him making Ray "I murder people" Lewis cry like a dainty lady on MNF.

Great Chief who deserves the honor of the HOF....and some discussion here.

Please share your favorite Will Shields moment, or a story of a positive personal interaction

12 consecutive pro bowl selections
223 consecutive starts.

The boys jumped out the front door and went right down 35th Street toward the fun. On their feet, they could cover the half mile or so in 10 minutes, maybe less, by cutting through some apartments and across 38th. But they were almost never on their feet.

Riding BMX bicycles was everything in small towns like this during the 1980s — wheelies, racing, seeing who could land the longest jump. And on their bikes, the boys could take the trails and cut down their trip by a few minutes, leaving more time for tricks. This is Harold Park, known to area kids as Bicycle Park.

The grass is a little too long, and a rusty muffler lies across the park’s entrance, but Will Shields and Adrian Lunsford came here dang near every day. Shields had his first football practice in this park as a boy. The sport would end up making Shields rich and famous, a career that will be honored with his induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend.

But back then, he and Lunsford were just two kids trying to stick a backflip on their bikes.

“Hey,” Shields said one day, “you want to go to the store and get some chips and a soda?”

“I don’t have any money,” Lunsford said.

“I didn’t ask you if you had any money,” Shields responded. “I asked if you wanted to get some chips and a soda.”

Now a grown man, Lunsford laughs when he tells the story. This is the friend he’ll present at the induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio, on Saturday. Lunsford has a thousand stories like this. Most center around things more important than a bag of chips. Shields once leaned out of a moving truck, for instance, risking his own fall because he saw a friend losing his balance.

There is a sweet charm to the way each man talks of this place, one that focuses on the happy part of a town with two personalities.

Shields originally wanted his kids to present him, but the rules say it can only be one person, and Shields’ children are too competitive to pick just one. For those who know Shields well, though, Lunsford will highlight the same message his kids would have.

Two of the four kids that Shields thinks of as his aren’t his blood. Shields has always been about taking care of others, shared DNA or not, and Lunsford’s history in Lawton makes him a terrific messenger.

Lawton — people here often call it LA, for Lawton America — can be a rough place. When Shields was a boy, his town became temporarily famous for being announced by Johnny Carson as having the country’s highest per capita crime rate. Drugs and violence and gangs aren’t just for big cities.

Lawton High School had the highest rate of free or reduced lunch among the town’s three high schools. Locals knew it as the poor school. But Shields was lucky. Two loving and strong parents. An older brother who taught him to love football and an older sister who taught him to love music.

Others weren’t so fortunate. Shields doesn’t talk about this much, but the difference stuck with him. The experience helped create one of the great philanthropists in sports. This weekend in Canton, he will be honored as one of the best offensive lineman to ever play the game, but back in Lawton, people talk more about the man who grew up to do the work of a saint.

Shields’ foundation has helped thousands of battered women. For nearly two decades, he has sung and handed out gifts to kids at a Kansas City mental health facility. More kids than anyone can count are attending or have graduated from college on Shields’ empathy.

There is not enough space in this newspaper to detail every way he has changed lives, and all of it, in one way or another, started here in Lawton.

“That’s where I was meant to be growing up,” Shields said.

Lawton is a military town. It’s often referred to as the Lawton-Fort Sill community, and the military presence there is enough that most everyone who isn’t enlisted knows someone who is.

The rest of the town is blue collar — middle class or below. The biggest employers have always been the military, the school system and factories — including Haggar, a clothing company where Shields’ mom worked and which makes the gold jackets for Pro Football Hall of Famers.

The size and demographics haven’t changed much since Shields lived in Lawton. Every now and then, a developer will come in with the idea of building up a downtown business district, but it never sticks.

“We don’t have a skyline,” Shields said. “We have a mall. That’s it. And even the mall is probably half full, half empty.”

Shields grew up in a military family. His father was stationed in Germany for three years when Shields was growing up, the type of assignment that often means an entire family moves. But on their father’s decision, Shields and his siblings stayed in Lawton, with their mother.

Maybe it was simpler that way. Maybe stability was the important thing. Maybe Lawton was the kind of place that could complement the structure of home. Shields isn’t sure — he has never asked why they stayed behind.

Shields has always been different. Even back then, he was the one other kids would tell their parents they were with to soothe concerns. And there was plenty to be concerned about. As one childhood friend put it, “We (weren’t) all like Will.”

Some of the boys and girls that Shields grew up with fell behind, lost in the sad cliché of poorer places across the country. But a lot of those kids made it too, perhaps more so than they would have from similar backgrounds in other places.

You see, there are two very different sides of Lawton: the crime that Carson made famous on “The Tonight Show,” but also the structure and love with which Shields grew up.

Shields had friends on both sides of the divide. He also had a personal look at a bridge from danger to compassion, and a childhood that showed him the value of looking out for one another.

Shields is best known as a former football star, the 12-time Pro Bowler who made 231 consecutive starts for the Chiefs. But his life outside football — the stuff that made him just the third offensive lineman to win the NFL’s Man of the Year Award — is also well known.

“I saw so many people helping so many people,” he said of Lawton. “That leaves an impression on you.”

The specifics are harder to uncover, keeping vague the story of how one of sports’ great philanthropists came out of this stark dichotomy of a small town.

Shields will speak about this in generalities but won’t budge when pushed for details. Go ahead, ask. A name. A memory. Anything.

“I don’t know if they want that,” Shields said, smiling. “But if you go down there and you talk to Charlotte, I’m pretty sure you’ll get an idea what I’m talking about.”

Remembering Will Shields HOF Career.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...of-fame-career

Offensive linemen can sometimes be the NFL’s overlooked grunts, with the glory assigned elsewhere. Often to the quarterback who had time and was comfortable while throwing that sailing, 20-yard bomb. Other times to the untouched running back who saw only sunshine while cruising through a gaping hole.

The great ones just do their job and do it well. They seal, pull or pancake, dust themselves off, then rinse and repeat, which is where we begin with former Kansas City Chiefs guard Will Shields, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Sunday.

He went through that cycle of physical dominance at the point of attack for 14 years. Looking back at his time in the NFL reveals first longevity, then consistently high-level play and off-field character that made him both a community and franchise icon.

Then we see even more: All of those things and an entire Hall of Fame career taking place in one city, for one team without missing a single game.

Will Shields is defined by being an ironman

It all started in 1993, when Shields had just endured an offseason of battling for his roster spot after being selected in the third round (74th overall) by the Chiefs.

Or perhaps more accurately, he survived it.

“The first minicamp after I got there, I was terrible,” Shields told ESPN.com’s Adam Teicher in a recent interview. “I struggled very bad, to the point I was thinking I was going to end up being cut.”

"After I came back, the second minicamp and the third one got better. I sort of figured that I arrived at that point. I guess the main [point] was when the coaches were saying I could actually, maybe, get into the starting lineup by Week 5 or at least share time with the guys that were starting Week 4 or Week 5."

At the time that was significant progress and a carrot being dangled in front of the then-22-year-old fresh out of Nebraska, where he was an All-American guard and a Fumblerooski legend.

But Shields’ first chance to shine would come much sooner than one month into his rookie season. In fact, he didn’t even have to wait one game.

In Week 1 of that year, starting guard Dave Szott suffered an injury, which immediately pushed Shields onto the field. He wasn't quite ready, and he didn’t yet have the Pro Bowl form Chiefs fans would come to know well. He was an anonymous nobody to an extent because all eyes were focused on two recently acquired critical pieces: quarterback Joe Montana and running back Marcus Allen.

The instructions given to Shields in those early days were simple, but rather important. He was to make sure Montana—the quarterback who just cost Kansas City a first-round pick and had missed nearly two full seasons with an elbow injury—remained in one piece.

“In my first start the coaches, of course, told me to make sure that Joe didn’t get hit,” Shields said to Josh Looney of KCChiefs.com in 2012. “So that was in the back of my mind, just making sure that whatever I did I made sure Joe stayed upright.”

That season Montana started 11 games, and Shields was part of a stonewalling offensive line that allowed only 12 sacks when the aging quarterback was in the pocket.

Montana finished off the final two seasons of his career in Kansas City with Shields as one of the five men tasked with minimizing his bruising. He was sacked on only 3.8 percent of his 822 dropbacks.

That’s how it all began for Shields, as he was first unsure of himself, then had to be sure in a real hurry to protect a legend. Quickly his own legendary status grew because he was a firmly entrenched offensive-line anchor who was always there on game day.

Each and every game day until he retired in 2006. You’ll notice a recurring number here...

The innovative minds over at Pro Football Focus have advanced how we evaluate offensive line play. But there was a time when the basic, surface-level counting statistic associated with any offensive lineman answered this question: did he play or not?

That would be overly simplistic at any other position. But continuity is the lifeblood of any offensive line. There’s a certain flow and cohesiveness to a line that remains together, and especially one that has a rock like Shields.

His 224 games played and 223 consecutive starts are both Chiefs franchise records. He started all but one game throughout a career that began when we were all still rocking our Discmans, and ended in 2006 when thousands of songs in your pocket was never enough.

In a sport that punishes bodies at any position, Shields took his blows and jabbed back, never crumbling. It’s almost comical to see that column of 16s stretching down in the table above.

The resulting tally puts Shields in a special class.

But he was more than merely there and slogging his way through a life in football. No, he went for both longevity and near-flawlessness.

A perennial Pro Bowler

Go ahead and consult that very repetitive chart above summarizing Shields’ career once more. Of the 14 seasons shown there, only two of them didn’t end with a Pro Bowl appearance.

He was selected to and appeared in 12 consecutive Pro Bowls. That puts Shields alongside some other legendary names in NFL history.

Shame he never got to do anything relevant in the playoffs.

My daughter and his daughter went to school together and I was at a father daughter dance that he went to with his daugfhter. It was cool seing big bad Will Shields being the family man.

Demonpenz · 08-06-2015, 08:16 PM

20 yard bomb?

Mother****erJones · 08-06-2015, 08:16 PM

The thing that blew my mind was the stat: one holding call his last 9 years playing.

kccrow · 08-06-2015, 08:27 PM

One of the best offensive lineman I've ever seen play the game. I probably won't see a guard of his caliber grace the field for the Chiefs again, and I'm okay with that. Absolutely Phenomenal.

**DaFace** · 08-06-2015, 08:37 PM

It's amazing to think how good that line was now that we've had such incredibly shitty OL since then. Hopefully this year's group can at least be passable.

Cheater5 · 08-06-2015, 08:38 PM

Got a football signed by Will.

Now let's have a vid of him burying Ray Lewis.

**DaFace** · 08-06-2015, 08:41 PM

Also, I thoroughly approve of Iowanian's efforts here. The quality of discussion around here lately has been shit.

I would love to see this video embedded here.
