Billy Shaw, Pro Football Hall of Fame Guard, Passes Away at 85

The Buffalo Bills legend and only Hall of Fame inductee to play his entire career in the AFL died from hyponatremia at his home in Georgia.

Billy Shaw was a key player for the Buffalo Bills, contributing to two AFL championships in 1964 and 1965.
He was an eight-time AFL All-Star and a five-time All-AFL selection during his nine-season career from 1961 to 1969.
Shaw was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999, recognized for his all-around athleticism and impact on the guard position.
He passed away at his home in Toccoa, Georgia, with his family by his side, due to hyponatremia, a condition marked by low sodium levels in the blood.
Shaw's career was notable for his decision to play in the AFL over the NFL, making him the only Hall of Famer to have played exclusively in the AFL.
