These guys were officially inducted as the initial members of the Ring of Honor.
4. The Cardinals have actually had some non-football Olympians come play for their team. Ollie Marson is one of the celebrated Olympians as he took home 2 bronze medals at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics for 400m and the 4×400 relay run events. He managed to attain these medals after graduating from the University of San Francisco and before he even played his first season for the Chicago Cardinals.
