The Kansas City Chiefs have two prominent members of their storied past up for induction into the Hall of Fame in Will Shields and Willie Roaf. While both will undoubtedly make it at some point, the chances are likely that Shields could get in on his first ballot and be part of the NFL's 50th Hall Of Fame class.
They'll Make It: Will Shields, Chiefs guard. The Hall loves physical iron men, and Shields never missed a game (224 overall) in a brilliant 14-year career that included 12 Pro Bowls.
Shields, from Lawton, Oklahoma, will learn whom the finalists in the 2012 class at 5:30 p.m. ET on Saturday during a one-hour NFL Network special, live from the Super Bowl Media Center.
