SCB Steelers Quick Hitters: The “Shell Yeah!” Edition

Good Wednesday to you Steelers’ Fans.

Pittsburgh Steelers’ Safety Donnie Shell finally got his call to the Hall of Fame this morning. He becomes the tenth member of the great 1970’s teams to gain entry into Canton. Shell played from 1974 through 1987 and was a member on all four of the 1970’s Super Bowl winning teams. He played in 201 games and recorded 51 interceptions during his time in the defensive backfield. He was an All-Pro three times and made five Pro Bowls during his career. Often overlooked because of guys like Mel Blount, Jack Ham and Jack Lambert, Shell was big hitter and terrific tackler getting everything out of his nearly six foot, 190 pound frame.
