Passed away today, great player and great Bengal. Criminal that he is not in the HOF

RIP, Ken.

It will really suck when Charles Woodson, that he's tied with on the interception list, gets in in the next couple of years.

Never forget his technique of taking a guy's legs out from behind and flipping him on his face.

Great player, great guy

and his omission from the Hall of Fame is a disgrace.

R.I.P. Rattler

another Bengals great named Ken that should be in the HOF.

 

 

RIP sir 

As the old saying goes  - it is the hall of FAME not the hall of the best players

yeah how you are 5th all time in INTs and not in the hall is criminal. RIP

Tied for 5th in interceptions all time and hit like this!  The combination of playing on teams that didn't have a lot of success and playing in a small media market have kept Riley and Anderson out of the HoF.

 

Ken Riley- Tums All Time Neutralizer

 

 

“Kenny Riley represents what the Hall of Fame is all about, in my opinion … I think Kenny’s stats merit that. I definitely do. Look at how many games, how many years that he played. The productivity he exhibited. The leadership that he exhibited.

Not many play cornerback for 10 years and you have to average five a year to even get to 50 and it’s hard enough to average two a year. Kenny to a certain extent and me definitely, when I played teams ran the ball 60 to 65 percent of the time. Pound, pound, pound, play-action. Kenny overlapped that era a little bit. Now they run the ball 35 percent of the time and pass, pass, pass.”
