When I started watching:
NFL:
- Emmitt Smith
- Steve Young
- Cortez Kennedy
(didn't know who any of these guys were, at the time)
Bengals:
- Carsone
- Chad
- Leon Hall
This was only because I started watching games in their entirety, in 2009 (as that's when I first started getting Sunday Ticket. it was only PT or random games otherwise, from 1992-2009. My Bengals content was a steady diet of highlights and internet things, for most of my youth). Since I've been a fan since I was three however (thus still apt for NFL, in my list above), the Bengals stars at the time were:
- Boomer (who I knew at the time, the only player I would know for a year or so)
- Krumrie (who I didn't)
- Harold Green (who I also didn't)
Then the next year (when I was 4), Leon Lett's Thanksgiving play was replayed to death and that name stuck lol and John Copeland was drafted by us, so those two became the next 2 players I ever remember hearing about.

I was young but Blake, Scott, Pickens. Just looked it up to see who else I was forgetting and unfortunately that POS Kimo was on our team my early years too. *%#+! First Jersey I ever got was Peter Warrick.

Some of you are reminding me why my body hurts so much having just sat on a plane for 22 hours to get home yesterday. Thanks for reminding me I'm not young.

I started following the Bengals in their first season 1968. I was 17 and I wasn't as emotionally invested in the team as I am today. I went back and looked at the roster and some of the names I remember were there, Trumpy, Essex Johnson, Sam Wyche. I got serious about them around the time Ken Anderson was in his prime and have been ever since. Who Dey!

I would love to watch a perspective analysis on how good Rudi Johnson actually was. I wasn’t into X’s and O’s when he was playing but i generally remember Chris Perry being the fun big play guy and Rudi being more of the bell cow solid chain mover back. But nothing special. Then i look at his stats and see he had 3 straight 1300 yard seasons

Rudi had great vision and he was tough, but he had a fantastic OL those years. Wish our current OL could turn into something
comparable. If they do, Mixon could blow up for huge yards in the back half of the season, same with Perine and Evans if he is
back anytime soon and gets some snaps. The Panthers game could just be the beginning, sure as hell hope so.

Chad, Carson, Willie Anderson were when I started seriously watching 2005 and on. When I became a fan it'd probably be Willie, dillion, spikes? Became a fan before I even watched them as I didn't have a TV until like 2003.
