My dad had season tickets so unfortunately watched a lot even when they sucked. Dillon, Willie, and Blake. 

I was probably only like 8 or 9 at the time. 

Blake, Pickens and Scott.

Watched them from a younger age with my Dad and Uncles but will go from when I was 15 and remember them better

Kenny Anderson, Isaac Curtis, Ken Riley, Archie Griffin, Pete Johnson, Louis Breeden, and Dave Lapham. Ok that was more than 3 and would not remember Lapham if he weren't still working with the Bengals

Not as well, but do remember the Bill Bergey, Essex Johnson days and Bob Trumpy even spoke and signed autographs at my Pee Wee football banquet

These were the Bengals players I first remember but from my favorite team when I first started watching football

Bob Lily
Chuck Howley
Ralph Neely
LeRoy Jordan

I started watching with Ken Anderson, Chris Collinsworth, and Anthony Munoz.

I started being a serious fan with Boomer, Icky, and Brooks.

Anderson, Pete Johnson, Curtis, Reggie Williams, LeClair, Riley, Breeden

Some of y'all need to go back to school and learn how to count to 3.

I was 6 so my judgement may be off, but I'd say Ken Anderson, Munoz, and Chris Collinsworth or Pete Johnson...

Paul Robinson was AFL Rookie of the Year as he led the AFL in rushing yards, so he gave Bengals Fans something to cheer about on that first year expansion team.

Bob Trumpy at TE led the Bengals in receiving and he was big and it took 2 or 3 to tackle him. For a TE, he ran the long bomb play better than any TE in Bengals history still to this day. He would become an All Pro Tight End award winner in the coming years.

Bob Johnson was the first Bengals draft pick ever and he was the Bengals Center for many years.

I must add a 4th in the bruising blocks of Guard Pat Matson who was a great pulling guard for Bengals many years helping these runners get the holes to run through. He could flat out bulldoze and pancake defensive players with monster blocks that had the Cincy crowd cheer at how bone crushing his blocks were opening huge running lanes on those power sweeps.

But in the end, in 1968, everybody was excited about NFL HALL OF FAME Paul Brown bringing a Pro Football Team to baseball town Cincinnati, as an owner, GM and Head Coach.

That first year, the Star was easily AFL Rookie of The Year Paul Robinson and as he said at the AFL All-Star Game, " All Right ".

I’m with bfine and sandwedge. But I would include Archie Griffin

Chad, Carson, Willie.

When someone sat me down in front of a football game on TV : Ken Anderson, Essex Johnson and Bill Bergey(My Dad's favorite player)

When I became more aware of how the game was played : Pete Johnson, Dan Ross and Louis Breeden(My first 'favorite Bengals player'). Ken Anderson's honeymoon period was over and the Bengals were trying to move on to Jack Thompson. Anthony Munoz was just a rookie with his worst receiving stats of his career, 1 catch for -6 yards, which is obviously why he didn't make the Pro Bowl that year.
