Steelers Hall of Famer Donnie Shell Game Day Socks

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Shell, in 1984, duplicated his team- and career-best seven-interception effort. Counting 1982, 1983 and 1986 when he was team co-leader in interceptions, he led or shared the lead in interceptions five out of seven years.  Adding to the significance of his accomplishments, his five interceptions in 1982 came during a strike-shortened, nine-game season. In addition to having a nose for the ball, Shell was also a devastating tackler.  He led the team in tackles in both 1982 and 1984, and was the leading tackler in the Steelers secondary for six consecutive years (1981-1986). His 51 career interceptions rank him third in Steelers history, behind Hall of Famer Mel Blount (57) and Jack Butler (52), and his 19 opponent fumble recoveries are just behind Hall of Famer Jack Ham (21) as a second-best performance by a Steeler. A durable player, Shell is tied for second most seasons played behind only Hall of Fame center Mike Webster.   G Int Yds Avg TD Career Total
