The Baltimore Ravens announced Wednesday that two new members will be added to the team's Ring of Honor.
"For the organization to do that and reach out, it means a great deal to us," Billick told reporters during a Wednesday afternoon news conference. "It really does. To be a part of the organization back then, to know that it's going to be a permanent fixture means a great deal to me."
Billick coached the Ravens from 1999 to 2007, and gave Baltimore a championship after the Ravens defeated the New York Giants in XXXV. Under Billick, the Ravens made the postseason four times and he finished his head coaching career with an 80-64 regular-season record, while posting a 5-3 mark in the postseason.
Ngata entered the league in 2006 as a first-round pick of the Ravens, and became one of the NFL's premier interior defensive players. He became a two-time All-Pro selection and five-time Pro Bowler in Baltimore before going on to play for the Detroit Lions (2015-17) and Philadelphia Eagles (2018). Ngata announced his retirement from football in March.
