Ken Riley Announced As 2023 Pro Football Hall Of Fame Inductee
CINCINNATI — The Bengals now boast two Pro Football Hall of Famers.
Former cornerback Ken Riley earned his bust in Canton as a member of the 2023 class. He joins Anthony Muñoz as Cincinnati's latest second player inductee.
Paul Brown is also in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a coach.
Riley played all 15 of his seasons with the Bengals from 1969-1983, amassing the fifth-most interceptions in NFL history (68). He picked off a pass in every campaign as he helped a fledgling expansion team eventually make the Super Bowl during the 1981 season.
He ranks second to Dick “Night Train” Lane’s 68 interceptions among defensive backs. His 207 games played rank second behind punter Kevin Huber in Bengals history. Huber just passed Riley this past season.
Of the top-eight all-time interception leaders, Riley was the only player not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, he passed away before getting this honor.
Alas, He's getting rightfully immortalized alongside the greatest players ever this coming August.
