When Jim Hart began his Cardinals career in 1966, he was an undrafted rookie free agent out of Southern Illinois with five quarterbacks ahead of him on the depth chart.
By the time it was over, he was one of the most decorated players in franchise history.
Hart will be recognized for his stellar 18-year stint with the franchise by becoming the 17th member of the Cardinals Ring of Honor. His induction will come during halftime of a 2017 home game that will be determined at a later date.
Hart said he was delivered the news during a lunch with team president Michael Bidwill in early March.
