Worth the wait; Steelers’ great Shell reveling in Hall nod
By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Donnie Shell says he never lost faith that he would one day reach the Hall of Fame. Shell’s patience paid off this week when the five-time Pro Bowler was named to a special Hall of Fame class as part of the league’s 100th anniversary. Shell played 14 seasons for the Steelers, helping the team to four Super Bowl titles during the 1970s. Shell’s Hall of Fame candidacy received a boost from former teammates who advocated for his induction.
