Chiefs Hall of Fame Guard Will Shields | NFL Players: Second Acts Podcast

 

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Chiefs Hall of Famer Will Shields joins Roman Harper and Peanut Tillman to look back on an incredible football journey and the life he built after the game. Will shares how a kid from Oklahoma ended up at Nebraska, why being drafted in the third round fueled him, and what it took to spend his entire NFL career in Kansas City while becoming one of the most dependable offensive linemen in league history.

Will also takes the guys inside the trenches, from battling John Randle to learning from Marcus Allen and blocking for Priest Holmes. Then the conversation turns to his second act: knowing when it was time to retire, jumping straight into business, working with the NFL Legends community, and giving back through his foundation. Plus, Will reveals why he now believes players should take a year off after retirement, shares his personal Mount Rushmore, and shows off a talent you might not expect from a Hall of Fame guard: singing.

The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.
