Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023 revealed at 'NFL Honors'
Ken Riley: One of the great original Bengals, Riley is finally a Hall of Famer. A sixth-round pick of Cincinnati in 1969, the franchise's second year of existence, the defensive back played all 15 years of his career with the Bengals. Riley earned his lone first-team All-Pro honor in 1983, his final season in the NFL, but was one of the game's great ballhawks well before then. Riley had at least one interception in every season of his career, finishing with 65, currently tied for fifth-most in NFL history behind Hall of Famers Paul Krause, Emlen Tunnell, Rod Woodson and Night Train Lane. Riley, who died in 2020, was posthumously inducted to the Bengals Ring of Honor as part of its inaugural class and will now, at long last, live forever in the halls of Canton.
