Halftime – Arizona Cardinals

DT Tim Bowens – Miami Dolphins Ring of Honor Halftime Ceremony

Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Garfinkel:

“Good afternoon. It’s a great honor to stand here today on behalf of Stephen Ross and the whole Dolphins organization and introduce a man who has left an indelible mark on this franchise. Today marks the first Ring of Honor induction in over 10 years, and although we’ve had countless alumni players who’ve left their mark on Dolphins history, it takes a special player and a special person to make the kind of impact that leaves their name forever enshrined in Hard Rock Stadium. Tim Bowens was that kind of player. The Dolphins drafted Tim in 1994, and it didn’t take long for him to make name for himself winning NFL Rookie of the Year. Over the course of his 11-year career, Tim was named to the Pro Bowl twice, dominating the trenches with more than 400 tackles, 22.0 sacks and most impressively started 155 games, the most for an interior lineman in Dolphins franchise history. Tim was the ultimate teammate; he was also one of the toughest as our very own Pro Football Hall of Famer Zach Thomas coined the phrase, ‘Tim Badass Bowens.’ Zach and Jason Taylor have both credited Tim as one of the main reasons why they wear gold jackets now; he did his job with consistency and set his teammates up for success. Tough, consistent, dependable and the ultimate competitor, he was all of these things throughout his Dolphins career. Tim, you’re more than deserving of this recognition. It’s now my honor to formally induct you into the Dolphins Ring of Honor.”

Former Dolphins DT Tim Bowens:

“Thank you. Thank you, Tom, Nat, Mr. Ross, the organization for letting me play my entire 11-year career here. I thank you. Special thanks to Coach Shula for drafting me and giving me that opportunity, and the rest of my coaches and my teammates, I love you guys. I appreciate the love, I appreciate last night, and I thank you. And to you the fans, I thank you for your support. I really appreciate it, thank you. To my family and my friends all in the stands or back home in Mississippi, thank you.”
