The Vikings will be adding a 24th member to their Ring of Honor.
On Thursday, the team announced they will induct tight end Steve Jordan to the Ring of Honor
The Vikings will honor Jordan sometime during the 2019 season, but that exact day hasn’t been announced yet.
(Maybe Week 16 on Monday Night Football so his son Cameron Jordan can join?)
Jordan played all 13 seasons of his career with the Vikings, amassing 498 catches for 6,307 yards and 28 touchdowns. He made the Pro Bowl in each season from 1986-1991.
Not bad for a former seventh-round pick.
“He has been an iconic player here who had an unbelievable career … but bigger than that, he has an Ivy League degree, graduated in four years,” Vikings COO Kevin Warren said via Vikings.com. “He is a phenomenal human being. People didn’t give him a chance. Today is a special day, and I love days like this, so on behalf of the Wilf family, the Minnesota Vikings and all of our fans around the world, I just want to invite Steve Jordan to the Ring of Honor, and you all are the first to know.”
Congratulations to Jordan and the rest of his family for a well-deserved honor.
