When Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Ronde Barber is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August, it will be his twin brother, New York Giants great Tiki Barber, who presents him.
Ronde made that choice and his announcement on Monday via social media.
If you know me, you know there was no choice but @TikiBarber 😘 https://t.co/C56hgFDO1r

Tiki expressed gratitude for the opportunity to present his brother, saying he felt “honored.” Of course, that only came after poking a little fun at Ronde.
The best part about my brother’s 1997 NFL Draft card, that will now be displayed in the NFL Hall of Fame, is that they spelled his name wrong. Haha 😂

When it was revealed that Ronde was headed to the Hall of Fame, Tiki quipped, “Now that you’re in, I guess it means I’m in.”
“Technically, one egg. It split,” Ronde responded.
Tiki has acknowledged that he’d like to someday be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Ronde has made that case for him. However, that has not yet happened and it may not despite a productive and deserving career.
