Willie Anderson is probably the one to receive the most votes. No brainer. Stud.
Personally, the other would be Chad. He's the franchise leader in receiving and was a gigantic part of the Bengals turnaround from the Forgotten Era. Not only was he great, but he was charismatic. He made the Bengals fun and cool.
I could definitely see arguments though for:
Corey Dillon - Franchise rushing leader. Dude was dominant. The only offense for a number of years. Some will factor in how he left though.
Tim Krumrie - Career leader in tackles. Still put up a respectable 34 sacks across his 11 year Bengals career, which is 10th all-time.
Jim Breech - All time points leader. Kicking machine.
Bob Trumpy - Career receiving yards leader at TE position. Actually has a better YPR than Chad and AJ Green.
Fulcher, Parrish, and Williams have a lot of accolades too, but they're not franchise leaders in much statistically.
One that would actually shock some people who could one day end up on the nomination list:
Brandon Tate
Dude only played with Bengals for 5 seasons, but he is the current franchise holder in Punt Return Yards (1411), 2nd in Kick Return Yards (3517), and leader in total return yards (4928). Tate actually had the same Punt YPR as Parrish (9.2).
