As a part of the NFL Honors last night, former star Virginia Cavaliers defensive back Ronde Barber became the third former Wahoo player to be named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the fifth associated with UVA with Bill Dudley and Henry Jordan (players), Early “Greasy” Neale (coach), and Ralph Wilson Jr. (owner). Now nearly ten years post his professional football retirement, Barber will be enshrined along with the greats of the sport.
In his time in the NFL, Barber played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers all 16 years, most notably winning a Super Bowl with the franchise in 2002.
