The New Orleans Saints Ring of Honor will have their sixth player inducted into their exclusive club this Sunday.
According to numerous sources, Will Smith will be honored during the Saints game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Smith, who was killed in 2016, played for the Saints from 2003-2014. His 67.5 sacks over his eleven-year career ranks fifth all-time in team history.
The five previous players who are in the Ring of Honor are Morten Andersen, Tom Benson, Rickey Jackson, Archie Manning, and Willie Roaf in the Ring of Honor.
Manning, Jackson, and Roaf were the first three members when the Ring of Honor was introduced in 2013. Andersen was inducted in 2015. Tom Benson was added to the Ring of Honor last season, six months after his death, in an emotional ceremony during the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
