Doug Williams to be Buccaneers' latest Ring of Honor member

Doug Williams will be the next member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Ring of Honor, Jenna Laine of Sports Talk Florida reports. The Buccaneers have scheduled a press conference for 2:00 p.m. tomorrow to announce his induction, as the former franchise quarterback becomes the Ring's seventh member.

Williams was the Bucs' original franchise quarterback, the 17th overall draft pick of the 1978 NFL draft and the starter for five years, before a contract dispute with notoriously cheap owner Hugh Culverhouse led to Williams leaving for the USFL. Ironically, Williams' most famous moment came with Washington in 1988, when he threw five touchdowns in one quarter of football in Super Bowl XXII.
