Rickey Dixon, who played safety for 5 seasons with the Bengals ('88-'92), passed away yesterday at the age of 53 after a 7 year battle with ALS. Dixon was inducted into the College Football HOF last year. He played 82 games as a Bengal and had 6 picks.

That sucks... I remember him holding out as a rookie, and the crowd at Riverfront booing the hell outta him when he took the field at the game my dad took me to that year.

Prayers to his family. ALS is a horrible disease.
