Billy Shaw - G

During his nine-year career with the Bills -- a career that earlier this year was finally rewarded its just due when he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame -- you could point to any play of any game to see just how good a player Billy Shaw was. Shaw leading Cookie Gilchrist around the corner, moving would-be tacklers like a snow plow on the streets of Buffalo in January, was one of the most enduring sights in Buffalo sports history. Shaw’s skills were excellent, his technique was perfect and his composure never wavered.

 Shaw's speed, strength, and natural ability made him the driving force of the offensive unit. Especially effective on short-yardage scoring plays, Shaw would pull out from his left guard position followed by heavy-duty runners Cookie Gilchrist and Wray Carlton. Bills' quarterback Jack Kemp or his super-sub Daryle Lamonica would follow the powerful trio of blockers - often untouched - into the end zone. The Bills of 1962, 1963, and 1964 still rank second, third and fourth in the team record book for most rushing touchdowns scored in a season.
