New England Patriots receiver Stanley Morgan will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame.
The former University of Tennessee star played 13 seasons with the Patriots from 1977-89 and was selected to four Pro Bowls. He is the 12th inductee and second receiver, joining wide receiver and kicker Gino Cappelletti. He will be honored in a stadium ceremony on Aug. 27.
Three finalists were determined by a nominating committee of media, Patriots Hall of Famers and team staff. Fans voting online beginning in June picked Morgan over Ben Coates and Ron Burton.
Morgan is the Patriots’ career leader with 68 touchdowns, 10,352 receiving yards, 39 100-yard receiving games and three 1,000-yard receiving seasons.
Morgan led UT in rushing in 1974 and 1975 and was the team’s leading receiving in 1973
He is 12th all-time in career rushing for the Vols with 1,952 yards.
