Falcons to ex-players Humphrey, Kenn

The Falcons will induct defensive end Claude Humphrey and offensive tackle Mike Kenn into the team’s Ring of Honor.

They will be honored during halftime of Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay.

Humphrey spent 10 seasons with the Falcons (1968-74, 76-78). He is the team’s all-time sack leader with 94.5. Humphrey was the 1968 Defensive Rookie of the Year. His six Pro Bowls, including five straight from (1970-74), tie him with Jeff Van Note for the most in team history. The five straight Pro Bowls also tie him with Kenn and current linebacker Keith Brooking as a team record.

Humphrey was also voted the Falcons Player of the Year in 1976.

Kenn was the 13th overall selection in the 1978 draft and spent his entire 17-year career with the Falcons. He started every game he played in, setting a franchise record for the most career games played and the most career starts with 251. Kenn only missed nine games during his Atlanta tenure after beginning his career with 90 consecutive starts.

Humphrey and Kenn join running back Williams Andrews, quarterback Steve Bartkowski, linebacker Tommy Nobis and linebacker Jessie Tuggle and center Jeff Van Note in the Ring of Honor.
