The
Baltimore Ravens inducted retired guard Marshal Yanda into their Ring of Honor
in December of last season, and now he's receiving another enshrinement, in the
Reese's Senior Bowl Hall of Fame.
"We are thrilled to be adding such an accomplished
group of players to the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame," Executive Director Jim Nagy stated in a press
release. "These men were among the best of the best coming out of college
and they all went on to have incredible pro careers...we are grateful
their NFL journeys began here in Mobile."
Yanda was a third-round pick out of Iowa by
the Ravens in 2007. He started 12 games as a rookie and spent
each of his 13 NFL seasons in Baltimore. During that stretch, Yanda went to the Pro Bowl eight
times and was a first-team all-pro twice.
And of course,
he's also a member of the Ravens' 2012 Super Bowl Championship squad.
Joining him in this year's group of Hall of Fame
inductees are former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson, Philadelphia
Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson, former Green Bay Packers outside
linebacker Clay Matthews, and former Eagles running back Brian Westbrook.
The Senior Bowl also announced its 2022 Rookies of the
Year with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen taking defensive honors
while Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson and Houston Texans running
back Dameon Pierce will be recognized as Co-Offensive Rookies of the Year.
The induction ceremony will be at The Grand Hotel Golf
Club & Spa in Point Clear, Alabama on Sunday, June 2, 2023.
According to the Senior Bowl, "This past April, the
game produced a record-tying 106 total picks for the second straight year,
representing 40 percent of the entire NFL draft, including 45 of the top 100
players selected."
