### Halftime
The Atlanta Falcons cornerback Deion Sanders will be the latest inductee into the team's prestigious Ring of Honor. Sanders was named the eighth member of this exclusive club by a vote of a local media selection committee. Sanders was a three-time Pro Bowl starter during his Falcons career after being selected as the fifth overall player in the 1989 draft out of Florida State. Considered one of the best pure cornerbacks ever to lace up a pair of cleats, Sanders also doubled as a dangerous return man. He was recently tabbed the 34th best player in the history of the League by a new NFL Films-produced series, The Top 100: NFL's Greatest Players. Sanders joins RB William Andrews, QB Steve Bartkowski, T Mike Kenn, DE Claude Humphrey, LB Tommy Nobis, LB Jessie Tuggle and C Jeff Van Note as members of team's Ring of Honor. Kenn and Humphrey were the last players to be inducted by the team in 2008. The Atlanta Falcons Ring of Honor pays tribute to retired players who made significant contributions to the Falcons during their playing careers.
