One of the greats, and long overdue as a member of the NFL Hall Of Fame. Amazing player, R.I.P

He and Davey Concepcion were the reasons I wore 13 my entire athletic career. He was a brilliant man

Bummer

Rhodes Scholar Candidate who grew up in Florida and graduated high school the same year the Civil Rights Act was passed.
Think he would have been interesting to talk to?
RE: RIP Ken Riley - jfkbengals - 06-07-2020
Devastating news. He will never get to witness the pinnacle of appreciation which is the HOF. RIP Rattler.

The Rattler was my guy on defense when I was a kid. This sucks to hear he passed.

We mourn the passing of one of the greatest Bengals ever, Ken Riley (1947-2020). In 15 seasons with the team, Ken accumulated the fifth-most interceptions in NFL history and was selected as an All-Pro three times. Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this time. pic.twitter.com/e2AXAAi3Kw

Sad day for Ken’s family, friends, his fans, and the Bengals/Florida A&M communities. Again, the question must be asked: Why is Ken not in the Hall of Fame? At this point, it’s borderline criminal.

RIP Rattler
Over a 3 season stretch 74 - 76 he had 20 int's, 2 were pick six's. He finished his career with 65 int's. He was one of the greats.
Thank you Ken

Thank you Ken
Sad to hear this news...he was one of the reasons I became a Bengals Fan living in Los Angeles ....how could you not be into a guy nicknamed "rattler" at age 10? Him , Lamar Parrish, Tommy Casanova, Bernard Jackson made us a great and feared secondary back in the day.
RIP Rattler, lets hope the HOF wakes up.

RE: RIP Ken Riley - Essex Johnson - 06-07-2020
He was the man growing up in the 70s, and still was playing st a high level at end.. total BS not in HOF
RE: RIP Ken Riley - JWW1971 - 06-07-2020
Very sad news, RIP Ken
RE: RIP Ken Riley - Sled21 - 06-07-2020
The fact he was not inducted while alive, while so many lessor players at his position have gotten in, is a ribbon of shame on the NFL. I guess they''ll wait till Anderson is dead also.
RE: RIP Ken Riley - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 06-07-2020
RIP Rattler.
Another Bengal snub.
RE: RIP Ken Riley - Forever Spinning Vinyl - 06-07-2020
Pretty much a starter on every Bengals fan's All-Time Bengals Team.
Rest In Peace
RE: RIP Ken Riley - BrownAssClown - 06-07-2020
RIP Ken Riley. You were an all time great cornerback and never got your just due in the NFL HOF.
RE: RIP Ken Riley - Circleville Guy - 06-07-2020
A top 5 all time Bengal... maybe top 3. The NFL HOF didn’t give him what he earned and his team doesn’t honor their past greats enough. Players that good shouldn’t get lost with time.
RE: RIP Ken Riley - jfkbengals - 06-07-2020
I feel this will be a situation like Stabler. There will be a movement to get him in now because he was wronged in not being alive to see it happen and thus should wait no longer.
Is it possible the voters have something against the name Ken? Stabler, Riley, Anderson...
