I went with Deltha Oneil he wasn't here too terribly long... But damn was that man a TD machine in madden when we had him.
Adam jones has been great for us though.. (and I haven't played madden in a while)

Only 5 Bengals have ever worn 24? Obviously, not asking about practice squad/camp bodies.

Media guide on the Bengals.com site has an all-time roster by number.
There have been others, but they are a bunch of nobodies.

I have to say that for me this is the toughest poll question ever.
Both O'Neal and Pac were absolute elite cover corners when they were at there best. Deltha had a lot more picks but Adam was shutting down EVERYONE in '15 and '16.
Both were elite return men also.
I really can't choose between them.

Had to go with Pacman. Delta was awesome in 05, but Pacman was better longer here.
