CBS Sports is running an interesting series where they are determining the five most important players and coaches of each team. They recently posted their five Bengals that were most important to the franchise, and the results were pretty interesting.
Before we dive into it though it is important to note there were several stipulations here. Of the five, there would be one coach, one quarterback and three non-quarterbacks. CBS’s John Breech also enlisted the help of Dave Lapham (former Bengals and current color commentator for the team), Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com and Breech’s father, Jim Breech, who happens to be Cincinnati’s all-time leading scorer.
