Put Lap in based partially on his stellar radio work.  He’s kind of like Mr. Cincinnati Bengals, get him in that ring of honor.  After that it’s a tie in my mind between Krumrie and Corey Dillon.

I think Dillon for sure.    Lap is a good idea.   There has always been stories from people that covered the team and former players that suggest Parrish was better than Ken Riley.  I think they refer to him as Deon Sanders before Deon. 

Its hard to say no to any 80s Superbowl era pro bowler, IMO.  Those are some of my favorite players.

When I think of potential next Bengal HOFer.   It goes like this

1. Ken Anderson - I think he's criminally overlooked and have lost hope it will ever happend - Already Ring of Honor inducted.

2. Willie Anderson - I hope this happens.  Completely deserving - Already Ring of Honor inducted.

3. Geno Atkins - All Decade Team.  He's deserving and when he comes up he'll at least get to the finals round which is a lot further than some of the 80s Bengals will get.

4. Andrew Whitworth - Deserving.  When he comes up he'll at least get as far as Willie Anderson has gotten.

Long story short.   Bengals will need to  figure out a way to have Atkins and Whit cut the line AT the same time their critical HOF voting is going on.

Still shocking that Parrish is rarely in the HOF conversation when it comes to Bengals as well.

The number I read that makes this such a glaring omission is:
"One of only 6 cornerbacks with at least 8 pro bowls and the only one of them that is NOT in the Pro Football Hall of Fame."
