NY Giants Will Induct Tom Coughlin, Justin Tuck, and Ernie Accorsi to Ring Of Honor

Three legendary New York Giants will be added to the team's Ring Of Honor at MetLife Stadium later this season.

During a halftime ceremony during the team's Monday Night Football game on November 14th against the Bengals in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Giants will honor Tom Coughlin, Justin Tuck, and Ernie Accorsi.

Coughlin will be the fourth head coach in the Giants' Ring of Honor, following Bill Parcells, Steve Owen and Jim Lee Howell.

Justin Tuck was a key part of the defense that won two Super Bowl championships, both times over the New England Patriots.

Ernie Accorsi will be the second Giants GM in the Ring of Honor, joining his predecessor, George Young. Accorsi was Giants GM from 1998 to 2006. He orchestrated the trade to bring Eli Manning to New York, as well as drafting Osi Umenyiora, Chris Snee, Justin Tuck, Mathias Kiwanuka, and Brandon Jacobs, and signing Antonio Pierce, Kareem McKenzie, Plaxico Burress, and Fred Robbins as free agents. He also hired Tom Coughlin as head coach after the 2003 season.

Coughlin released a statement saying

It was a great privilege to be the 16th head coach of the New York Giants, and it's a privilege and a tremendous honor to be a part of those great names in Giant folklore that are in the Ring of Honor."
