Lions sign DB Shell

Feb 14, 2012 - 7:09 PM Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - The British Columbia Lions signed defensive back Lin-J Shell on Tuesday.

Shell has spent the last three seasons with the Toronto Argonauts (2009-2011), racking up 222 tackles and seven interceptions in 53 games.

"Being able to add a player of Lin-J's caliber is a big signing for our club," said VP of football operations and GM Wally Buono. "His size and physical play are something that attracted us and the fact he was third in the league last year in tackles means he's always around the ball."
