Pro Football Hall of Famer Billy Shaw dies at age 85

Pro Football Hall of Fame member Billy Shaw died Friday at his home in Toccoa, Georgia, his family said. Billy's wife, Patsy, and their three daughters sat at his bedside.

The cause of death was hyponatremia, a condition in which sodium levels in the blood are abnormally low.

Shaw was drafted by both the AFL's Bills and the NFL's Cowboys in 1961 out of Georgia Tech, where he played both offense and defense. The Bills selected him in the second round as a guard, and the Cowboys selected him in the 14th round as a linebacker.

He signed with the Bills and developed into one of the best guards in NFL history.

Shaw was a key member of the Bills teams that won AFL titles in 1964 and 1965. He was selected first-team All-AFL from 1962 to 1966 and was second-team All-AFL in 1962, 1968 and 1969.

Shaw was selected for eight AFL All-Star games.

He was named to the AFL All-Time Team and the 1960s Professional Football All-Decade Team.

In 1999, Shaw was inducted in Canton as the only Hall of Famer to play his entire career in the AFL.
