The Indianapolis Colts are planning to induct three-time Pro Bowl left tackle Tarik Glenn into the organization’s Ring of Honor during the 2022 season.
Owner Jim Irsay told the media Tuesday at the NFL owners’ meetings in Palm Beach that the former left tackle for Peyton Manning will finally get his blue jacket.
“We’re really excited about Tarik Glenn going into the Ring of Honor,” said Irsay via the team’s website. “He’s so deserving. I spoke with Tarik and he’s so excited. I know how much our fans love him. That’s great news because he’s a special guy.”
The date for Glenn’s induction ceremony will be determined when the 2022 regular season schedule is released, which is expected to be sometime in May.
The No. 19 overall pick in the 1997 NFL draft, Glenn was the model of consistency during his 10-year career with the Colts. In all but one season, he started all 16 games on Indy’s offensive line. His rookie season started with him as the right guard before switching to be the team’s long-time left tackle for the remainder of his career.
The only time Glenn missed games during his career was during the 2003 season when he was forced to miss six games due to a knee injury.
Glenn will be the 18th inductee into the Ring of Honor but only the third offensive lineman. He will join Chris Hinton (2001) and Jeff Saturday (2015) as the only offensive linemen in the team’s Ring of Honor.
The other 17 inductees include owner Robert Irsay (1996), wide receiver Bill Brooks (1998), head coach Ted Marchibroda (2000), offensive lineman Chris Hinton (2001), quarterback Jim Harbaugh (2005), “Colts Nation” (2007), head coach Tony Dungy (2010), wide receiver Marvin Harrison (2011), running back Edgerrin James (2012), running back Eric Dickerson, running back Marshall Faulk (2013), center Jeff Saturday (2015), general manager Bill Polian (2016), quarterback Peyton Manning (2017), wide receiver Reggie Wayne (2018), defensive end Dwight Freeney (2019) and defensive end Robert Mathis (2021).
