Steelers legend Donnie Shell is donating some unique and rare memorabilia to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, as he prepares to be enshrined as part of the 2020 class.

A number of exclusive items are being donated, including jerseys, personal artifacts, and awards.

The jerseys are Shell’s college jersey from his time a South Carolina State, as well as a throwback Steelers jersey.

Among the many personal artifacts in the collection are Shell’s Bible used during his career, a 1974 Steelers team photo, his Terrible Towel and even a commemorative ball from his second-career interception.

Also included are two of Shell’s awards from his years at South Carolina State, his 1973-74 Sportsmanship Award and his 1973 All-American Award.

Shell spent his entire 14-year career with the Steelers. His 51 career interceptions are the third-most in Steelers history.

Shell will be inducted as part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Centennial class, along with fellow Steelers Troy Polamalu and Bill Cowher.
