I'm not sure if Bengals Ring of Honor is going to move any real gauges on voters, but it will put their names back in conversation and maybe it'll get people to look back at them again.

Chad
Willie
Parrish
Dillon

Are all guys who would probably be in the HoF if they played for a more historically successful team. I feel like there's a pretty solid gap between them and the next guys who would be Boomer, Trumpy, Reggie, I guess?


(Number of 8+ Time Pro Bowl DBs who aren't in the Hall of Fame?: One. Parrish. That's the whole list.)

You have a very solid group though I would have to put Curtis on that list also...   The more i dig into careers, Parrish really is just as deserving as Riley to be in the HOF, as they say he was Deion before Deion. In his 13 seasons, he recorded 47 interceptions for 462 yards, 13 fumble recoveries for 65 yards, 131 punt returns for 1,205 yards, 61 kickoffs for 1,504 yards, and 13 touchdowns

I personally think he would have stayed a Bengal playing next to Riley for his  career, they would be talked about as one of the best tandems ever as Corners and would have helped to move both of them up the HOF board.  Lets hope once we break the ice with hopefully Anderson, the rest of our great players start to get more notice
