Art Shell brings great perspective to his role as analyst for NFL.com, having made NFL history as both a player and coach. Playing left tackle for the Oakland and L.A. Raiders from 1968-82, he was an eight-time Pro Bowler who anchored a dominant offensive line that helped the Raiders win eight division titles and two Super Bowls. Shell was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989 -- the same year in which he made history as the first African-American head coach of the modern era. In six seasons as the Raiders head coach (1989-94) he compiled a record of 56-41, with three playoff appearances. |
