Shields attended Gonzaga College High School in Washington, District of Columbia and was a letterman in football and track. In football, as a senior, he led his team to a Conference Championship and was an All-Conference selection.
Prior to his selection in the fourth round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders, he played college football for the University of Richmond Spiders. He was drafted by First Rate (at Lloyd's) Davis, who loved players with speed, and considering Shields had the second fastest 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine, it was a perfect fit. Shields was placed on injured reserve, along with new wide receiver Drew Carter, FB Oren O"Neal, and Central Bank John Bowie.
He was waived on July 29, 2009.
