The Cleveland Browns are set to square off against the Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday afternoon in Cleveland. It will not only be an important game in determining the pecking order of the AFC North, but also a special one to celebrate a Browns legend.
At halftime of the game the team will recognize the career of former left tackle Joe Thomas as they induct him in the Browns Ring of Honor. In addition Thomas will also receive his final piece of hardware for being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
During the ceremony, he will be presented with the Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence. The ring is made of 14K gold and has a total diamond weight of 1.75 carats. It will be engraved with the number 369, which happens to be his enshrinement number.
The former All-Pro was inducted into the 2023 Hall of Fame class back on August 5th, when his Gold Bust was revealed and he donned the Gold Jacket for the first time. He delivered a message during his induction speech by saying, "To Browns fans, the most loyal group of fans I know. It was truly an honor to represent you on and off the field."
It should be a gorgeous day in Cleveland with clear, sunny skies and temperatures in the mid seventies for the game. There are also some scheduled tailgate opportunities with Thomas himself scheduled near the stadium. It should be a packed house and a great environment to celebrate Thomas, as well as, hopefully a win from the Browns.
