Guys like Derrick Thomas, Cris Carter, and Sharpe didn't get in on the first ballot, and they were premier players who got tons of coverage.

Shields played an anonymous condition for a mediocre team.

In a lot of ways, it's like Heisman balloting. It generally goes to the highest profile player on one of the best teams.

It took Elvin Bethea 15 years, Buck Buchanan 10+, Dan Dierdorf took 7 or 8 years despite not giving up a sack for over two years at right tackle and being a media fixture on MNF.
