Giants to induct seven members in 2022 Ring of Honor Class. Former running backs Joe Morris, Ottis Anderson and Rodney Hampton and defensive end Leonard Marshall joined the team’s post-practice huddle and were introduced by coach Brian Daboll. Giants president and chief executive officer John Mara then informed them they will be inducted into the Giants’ Ring of Honor. Mara also announced to the assembled that Ronnie Barnes, the senior vice president of medical services who has been a member of the team’s medical staff for 47 years, will join this year’s class of inductees.
The final two members of the 2022 Ring of Honor class – defensive back Jimmy Patton and halfback/receiver Kyle Rote – are deceased. Mara had previously contacted family members to inform them of their inclusion.
All seven of the honorees were members of Giants championship teams: Patton and Rote in 1956; Morris in 1986; Anderson and Marshall in 1986 and 1990; Hampton in 1990; and Barnes has been with the organization for all four of its Super Bowl victories. Morris, Marshall and Anderson increase to nine the number of players from the 1986 Super Bowl XXI championship team who are in the Ring of Honor.
“We are proud to add these deserving and legendary figures in Giants history to our Ring of Honor,” Mara said. “Each of the players was among the very best at his position to wear a Giants uniform. All of them helped our franchise win championships and enjoy long-term success, as has Ronnie Barnes, who has been an invaluable and beloved member of our organization for decades.”
