Who warrants consideration for the Ring of Fame and Ring of Honor?

THE OBVIOUS CHOICES

Sean Taylor, Chris Samuels, and London Fletcher

These are the three above-named members of the ROF who have not yet been enshrined in the ROH. That is merely a timing issue which should be corrected the next time the ROH list is updated.

THE 21ST CENTURY

Chris Cooley, Stephen Davis, Santana Moss, and Ryan Kerrigan

Jerry Smith and Don Warren are the only two tight ends currently in the ROH. (Smith is also in the ROF). Jordan Reed may be the most talented tight end the team ever had, but injuries and concussions derailed his career. Cooley was the total package. Great on the field (second only to Smith in yardage and touchdowns and No. 1 in total receptions), and a popular voice as an announcer/analyst after retiring.

I don’t understand Davis’ omission. He is fourth on the team’s all-time rushing list with 5,790 yards and has a higher yards-per-attempt than the three runners ahead of him. Terry Allen, Ernest Byner, and Joe Washington are all in the ROH. Davis needs to be there.

Moss is just as obvious as the three “obvious” choices above, but I didn’t include him there because he’s not in the ROF. He’s just 3rd in all-time receptions, 4th in all-time yardage, and 7th in all-time receiving TDs. I think that gets you into the ROH.

Kerrigan should be the most recent player inducted into the ROH. If he wasn’t the best player of the last decade (that conversation is coming soon), he was certainly in the top-2, and he was a consummate professional. A four-time Pro Bowler and the franchise’s career sack leader. Come to think of it, he may be the biggest no-brainer of them all.

That’s seven. The three final spots require some conversation. It comes down to how you want to define this list. If we’re going by best players, and nothing else, then to me, this is not very hard. Those three players are…
