The Patriots Hall of Fame was established in 1991 to honor the greatest players in franchise history.
Yesterday, Stanley Morgan, who played for New England for 13 seasons (1977-89), was elected as the 12th member of that prestigious club.
“Just to be nominated is an honor in itself,” Morgan said by phone. “I felt really honored when I got the call that I was being nominated from [vice president of Patriots media relations] Stacey [James], and I was just hoping that the fans remembered who I was. … I just left it in the fans’ hands.”
“He is most deserving of the honor and, in my opinion, belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” said Patriots chairman and CEO Robert Kraft in a news release.
Morgan is the second receiver to earn Patriots Hall of Fame honors, joining wide receiver and kicker Gino Cappelletti. The Patriots will honor Morgan in an enshrinement ceremony at the Patriots Charitable Foundation Kickoff Gala at Gillette Stadium on Aug. 27.
