       Ring of Honor

       For the first time since its inception, the Buccaneers Ring of
       Honor will welcome two new members in 2015, as all-time fan
       favorites Mike Alstott and Doug Williams will be inducted in
       separate ceremonies.
       Two eras, one mindset. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Ring of Honor
       at Raymond James Stadium is about to get a double dose of grit.
       For the first time since the inception of the Ring of Honor in
       2009, it will be welcoming two new inductees in the same season.
       This year, the franchise will honor former quarterback Doug
       Williams and former fullback Mike Alstott, two players who unite
       Buccaneer fans of all ages with memories of what they were on
       the field: hard-nosed, team-oriented and – ultimately –
       extremely successful.
       Williams and Alstott join previous inductees Lee Roy Selmon
       (2009), John McKay (2010), Jimmie Giles (2011), Paul Gruber
       (2012), Warren Sapp (2013) and Derrick Brooks (2014) in the
       Ring. They are the first quarterback and running back,
       respectively, to gain membership in that exclusive group. Their
       names and jersey numbers – 40 for Alstott, 12 for Williams –
       will be added to the Raymond James Stadium façade in a pair of
       home-game ceremonies this fall.
       Alstott will see his name unveiled first during the Buccaneers'
       October 4 game against the Carolina Panthers. Then, on December
       6, Williams will have his day as Tampa Bay takes on the Atlanta
       Falcons. Both games kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET.
