Ranking the 10 greatest Cincinnati Bengals of all time

1. Anthony Munoz, OT (1980-92)

While he isn’t measured by statistics like most on this list, there’s little doubt that Munoz stands alone at the top when it comes to the greatest Bengals players of all time, and he is one of the best offensive tackles the NFL has ever seen. Munoz, the third pick in the 1980 NFL Draft, played all 13 seasons of his pro career in Cincinnati. He made the Pro Bowl in all but his first and last NFL seasons, and was also an 11-time All-Pro, highlighted by an impressive first-team stretch for six consecutive years from 1985-91. The tackle was also named the Walter Payton Man of the Year in 1991 before becoming a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 1998. Munoz is one of two Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees to play his entire career with the Bengals.
