Todd Shell (born June 24, 1962) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL).[1] He is also a former Arena Football League (AFL) coach for the San Jose SaberCats, Arizona Rattlers and New York Dragons.

Professional career

Shell was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the first round of the 1984 NFL draft.[2] In Week 13 of the 1984 season, against the New Orleans Saints, Shell became the first NFL rookie to record 2.0+ sacks and a touchdown in a single game, when he returned an interception for 53 yards.[3] As of 2023, only two other defenders, Andy Katzenmoyer and Devon Witherspoon, had achieved this.
