Perhaps this topic has been discussed before, so if it has, please forgive me.
I was just looking at our Ring of Honor, and it appears that we haven't added anyone to the ring of honor since Willie Pless (1982-85). Has there really not been anyone worthy of that distinction since then?
Do Dana Stubblefield or Gilbert Brown from the 90's deserve some consideration?
Do Todd Reesing, Anthony Collins (First Team All-American) or Aqib Talib (First Team All-American) deserve to be in the Ring of Honor? There may be other players during that run who may be deserving as well... but those three stood out to me as being the real difference makers. I could see Chris Harris being in the conversation (for being #2 on the all-time tackles list at some point), but I feel like he was overshadowed by Talib... fairly or unfairly.
I understand that the Ring of Honor is equivalent to our hall of fame... so perhaps none of these guys are worthy of that distinction. I do know that Reesing's name is treated with about as much respect as any other name in the history of the program... so that should account for something, right?
I know that there are some former players who are on this board, and I would really love to know their thoughts on the subject. Is there anyone else since 1985 who deserves to be in the Ring of Honor?
