JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars will honor Olympian Sanya Richards-Ross during Sunday’s home opener at EverBank Field.

The four-time Olympic Gold Medalist is married to Jaguars cornerback Aaron Ross.

“I’m looking forward to finally coming to my new home in Jacksonville,” Richards-Ross said. “The way Aaron and I have been embraced by the Jaguars organization and the community is unlike anything we have ever seen. I can’t wait to thank all the fans for their amazing support during my journey in London.  Sunday will be my first Jaguars game but not my last.”

Richards-Ross won two gold medals at the 2012 Olympics in the 400-meter dash and the 4x400-meter relay.

She previously won gold medals at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing in the 4x400-meter relay.

Richards-Ross will be signing autographs for fans from Noon to 12:30 p.m. in the Sea Best Cool Zone in the south end zone.
