MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Former defensive tackle Kevin Williams will be joining other Vikings greats in the Ring of Honor.
On Wednesday, the team announced Williams, who played 11 seasons with the club, will be inducted this year.
“We are so proud to have Kevin Williams take his place in the Vikings Ring of Honor this fall,” said Vikings owner and chairman Zygi Wilf. “He was one of the greatest defensive players in team history, and he very much deserves this honor.”
Williams was chosen by the Vikings as the ninth overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft and immediately made an impact on the team, earning All-Rookie honors and setting the team rookie record with three sacks in a game against the Arizona Cardinals.
