I know there was a player who, in an interview, said something like (paraphrasing) who thinks they're going to beat the Bengals. I remember seeing a replay of it not too many years ago. But when I googled it all I see is how Hudepohl started it with Hu-day, or how people arguing over whether the Saints were first with Who Dat. Does anyone remember the player who originally said it? Bonus points if you can produce a you tube of it.

Every Saints fan I talk to always says they made it up first with the Who Dey saying...

It's a bit of "both" when it comes to Bengals vs Saints.
Who Dat originated before Who Dey. The oldest documented use was in a New Orleans Daily Picayune article in 1852.
It was used in some Louisiana colleges and high schools before the Bengals existed.
But Who Dey started around 1981 with the Bengals, likely as an adaptation of Who Dat.
The Saints adopted Who Dat after the Bengals started Who Dey.

Not Dat. I think I'm the only person who remembers this player being interviewed, and yes I believe it was in the locker room after a game. And it was before Who Dey was even a thing. Isn't there someone out there who remembers this?

It's not known who exactly started Who Dey. It's just known that it started around 1981.
And no, I meant 1852, as it shows in the link I provided.

Per https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/blog/2010/02/who-dey_came_first_we_think.html
Quote:“The origin of ‘Who Dey’ is shrouded in mystery,” Brennan said. “I’ve tried my best to find out.”
He’s been asked about it many times and asked numerous people. And Brennan started covering the Bengals in the 1980s. The general consensus is that the phrase was around during the 1981 Super Bowl season. Forrest Gregg, the Bengals’ coach back then, has said he remembers the phrase during that season, Brennan said.
Dave Lapham, who was a Bengals offensive lineman in the 1970s and early ’80s, has been the team’s radio analyst for 24 years and has been associated with the Bengals for 34 years, said “Who Dey” started during the Bengals’ 1981 season.
“We won five in a row in November,” Lapham said. “There were signs and painted faces all over the stadium.”
