Will Herthie 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. Shields blocked for Marcus Allen, Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson during his career. In his career he had blocked for 1,000 yard rushers for five seasons. He also blocked for 4,000 yard passers for five seasons while Elvis Grbac did it in 2000 and Trent Green in 2003, 2004, and 2005. In fourteen seasons, Shields never missed a game, and he failed to start only one contest, his first regular-season outing, as a rookie in 1993. Pasquarelli, Len.

NFL career

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. Shields was a consensus first team All-American and Outland Trophy winner during his final year at Nebraska in 1992. Beginning with a September 12, 1993 game against the Houston Oilers, he 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 of the Green Bay Packers. He started in 230 straight games including playoff games. He went to the Pro Bowl every year since from 1995 to 2006, a total of 12, a Chiefs team record. He was an important part in the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line that consistently led the team to a top 5 finish in rushing offense. 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. On April 15, 2007 following 14 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, he announced his retirement from football.

Will currently owns and operates 68 Inside Sports, a gymnasium and sports facility, in Overland Park, Kansas.
