Shane Dronett (January 12, 1971 – January 21, 2009) was an American professional football player who was a defensive lineman in the National Football League (NFL) for the Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons between 1992 and 2002. He was a starter for the Falcons in Super Bowl XXXIII. Before playing in the NFL he was an All-American college football player for the Texas Longhorns. He took his own life in 2009, an outcome that may have been related to chronic traumatic encephalopathy that resulted from his football career.
