“I am very excited for James to get the opportunity to be added to an NFL roster,” Power Head Coach Ron James said. “It is a testament to his athletic skill and hard work that he was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers.”

Shaw saw action in eight games for the Power in 2014 finishing the regular season with 21 receptions for 192 yards and three touchdowns. Shaw also saw time as a kick returner averaging 19.7 yards per return. In the Power’s first playoff game in franchise history, Shaw hauled in three receptions for 42 yards and a score.
