Players perform in the National Football League to win championships. After their careers are over, few accolades mean as much as being put in their team's Ring of Honor. On Tuesday, New York Giants' president and chief executive officer, John Mara teamed up with head coach Brian Daboll to deliver this special news to some pretty incredible former Big Blue players.
The seven additions increase the number of honorees in the Ring of Honor to 50. They will be formally added to the ring on Monday, Sept. 26, when the Giants host the Dallas Cowboys in MetLife Stadium.
The New York Giants are reaching back into team history and adding six players and a contributor to the Ring of Honor, the franchise highest achievement.
