Steelers Film Room Throwback Thursday: Donnie Shell interceptions

This throwback Thursday we return to the days of Donnie Shell being a ball hawk in the Steelers' secondary.

After our article yesterday talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers' third round selection Javon Hargrave being from an historically black college/university (HBCU) in South Carolina State University and the Steelers' historical ties to HBCU's, it seems only fitting to dedicate this week's throwback Thursday to Hargrave's fellow alumnus, former Steelers' safety Donnie Shell.

Shell is a legend in Pittsburgh lore for his many amazing plays during the 1970's and 1980's, as he took over the free safety position on defense after the departure of Glenn Edwards.
