Baylor
With a career high 192 tackles last year, Shane led the club for the second time in three seasons. He registered 10 or more tackles in nine games including 14 against the Jets. Although known as particularly effective against opposing running backs, his three interceptions were the most among Buffalo linebackers in '79.
Shane enters the 1980 season with 46 consecutive starts, starting with the opening game of 1977. That year he made the NFL All-Rookie team.
