Not every team has the good fortune of having a ton of individual whose contributions to the game it is determined merits enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But just because a player or coach or other figure may not rise to that stature from a global perspective doesn’t mean he can’t have that sort of reach within his own organization.
In order to fill in the gap remaining from those who don’t get into the Hall of Fame, many teams have introduced ‘Halls’ or ‘Rings’ of Honor of their own, which even the Pittsburgh Steelers have recently jumped aboard, and have thus been able to recognize some franchise greats as Hines Ward and James Farrior, Larry Brown and Elbie Nickel.
