Coy Bacon had a very brief yet impactful career in Cincinnati, playing just two of his 14 seasons with the Bengals. The Cadiz, Kentucky native was a college free agent out of Jackson St. who signed with Dallas in 1967 and was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in 1968 at the age of 26 – and backed up the “Fearsome Foursome.” By 1972 the 6-foot, 4-inch, 270-pound defensive lineman was a Pro Bowler. In 1973 he was traded to San Diego, where he spent three seasons before Paul Brown shipped 28-year-old wide receiver Charlie Joiner to acquire Bacon.
