The Cincinnati Bengals have been in a rough patch for some time now, but the one thing that consistently brings fans back is the players.
Only one player in franchise history has made the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and there is no official Ring of Honor associated with the Bengals. This has only made the legacies of the franchise’s players that much more valuable in the minds of its fanbase. If the NFL and the organization won’t celebrate the team’s history, who will instead?
Each decade of the team’s 53 years of history featured genuinely great players who spent the majority or all of their careers with the Bengals.
