Buffalo Bills legend Billy Shaw has died.

The 5-time All-Pro and Pro Football Hall of Famer died of hyponatremia at the age of 85, his family announced.

The Bills drafted Shaw in the second round of the 1961 AFL draft. Shaw was named an AFL All-Star eight times and earned five All-AFL nods. He also won two AFL championships across his storied career. Shaw started in 116 of his 119 career games played.

Shaw was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999.

Shaw is the lone member of the Hall of Fame to play his entire career in the AFL. His feat was all the more impressive given his stature as an undersized 6’2″ guard weighing around 260 pounds throughout most of his career.
