Well-known member
Just for a little bit of fun to stir up some conversation since the NFL is pretty quiet until the draft. Who would you consider to be the best players for each position for the Bengals to create an "All-Time" team. Here's my list...discuss and debate.

QB - Ken Anderson (Boomer and Palmer as backups)
Running Backs - James Brooks and Corey Dillon
Receivers - Tim McGee, A.J Green, Chad Johnson, Isaac Curtis
Offensive Tackles - Anthony Munoz, Willie Anderson
Center - Bob Johnson
Offensive Guards - Bruce Kozerski, Max Montoya
Tight Ends - Bob Trumpy, Tyler Eifert

Defensive Line - Carlos Dunlap, Eddie Edwards, Geno Atkins, Mike Reid
Linebackers - Vontaze Burfict, James Francis, Takeo Spikes
Defensive Backs - Reggie Nelson, David Fulcher, Ken Riley, Leon Hall

Kicker - Jim Breech
Punter - Kevin Huber

What do you guys think? Feel free to post your All Time team if you are a fan of another team.

I assume with Greg Cook you’re basing that off of what he could have been? He didn’t get to play too long before the arm injury?

Never heard of Muhlmann....I’ll have to look him up!
