Only one former Kansas City Chiefs player will take the field when the Philadelphia Stars take on the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL’s championship game on Sunday.
Josh Shaw was signed by the Chiefs in early October 2018, shortly after the team sent tight end Alex Ellis to injured reserve. Kansas City was looking for any sort of defensive spark in the secondary that season under defensive coordinator Bob Sutton. They weren’t very healthy at the safety position with injuries to both Daniel Sorensen and Eric Berry, which is why the team added Shaw.
Shaw played four games with the Chiefs that season, recording just four combined tackles. Most of his snaps came on special teams. On defense, he gave up a big play to tight end Rob Gronkowski. Shaw was eventually waived in the second week of November and would finish the season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Shaw has excelled with the Stallions, who drafted him in the eighth round (No. 61 overall) this year. He recorded 34 total tackles during the regular season, plus a game-sealing interception to extend his team’s undefeated streak.
Tonight, Shaw will get a chance to become a champion in the upstart league and will be the only former Chiefs player with that opportunity.
