Playing his college ball at TCU, Sherrill Headrick was not drafted by either the National Football League or the American Football League in 1960, who was beginning their operation. Headrick was eventually signed by the Dallas Texans, where in the first three seasons he was a First Team All-Pro and was a significant force on the Texans' 1962 AFL Championship.
Headrick and the rest of the Texans relocated to Kansas City, and the now named Chiefs remained an AFL power with Headrick a force in the defensive interior. Headrick would be appointed to two more AFL All-Stars (1965 & 1966), and in that latter year, he would help the Chiefs win the AFL Championship. He would finish his career with a season with the Cincinnati Bengals in 1968.
