Jim Breech had the honor of being a select group of Kickers to be chosen in the NFL Draft when the Oakland Raiders took him in the Eighth Round of the 1979 Draft. His tenure in Oakland was short-lived as the Raiders signed Chris Bahr, and cut Breech.  The Bengals would be Breech's landing place, and as of this writing, he has been the most productive Kicker in franchise history.

Eddie Brown proved to be worthy of Cincinnati’s 13^thOverall Pick in 1985 when the Wide Receiver from Miami (FL) had 942 Yards with eight TDs in what would be an Offensive Rookie of the Year season.

Domata Peko was one of the many good football players to come out of Samoa, and after playing his college ball at Michigan State, Peko was taken in the Fourth Round in 2006 by the Cincinnati Bengals.

In 1968, the University of Tennessee’s Bob Johnson was the first player drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals, who was the Second Overall Pick.  While you can easily say that he was not a star player, he was durable, and as it turned out, an excellent choice for their first-ever pick.

One of the most versatile Offensive Lineman in the Cincinnati Bengals history, Bruce Kozaerski played all twelve of his seasons in the National Football League with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Eddie Edwards was a beast at the University of Miami, where some considered him the best player on the team.  The Cincinnati Bengals believed that, and they chose him with their Third Overall Pick in 1977.

A defensive star at North Dakota, Jim LeClair, impressed the NFL scouts enough for him to be taken in the Third Round in 1972.

Carlos Dunlap was a massive part of the Florida Gators team that win the BCS National Championship in 2009.  Dunlap was so impressive that he was the National Championship Defensive MVP. This success was parlayed into a Second Round Pick by Cincinnati, who used the Defensive End mostly in pass-rushing situations in his first three seasons before he was a permanent starter in 2012.

Bob Trumpy was a Twelfth Round Pick from Utah, and for anyone drafted that low to have a pro career that lasted twelve seasons is nothing short of incredible.

David Fulcher made the All-Rookie Team after the Cincinnati Bengals took him with their Third Round Pick in 1986.

A Cincinnati Bengal for his entire pro career, Tim Krumrie came from the University of Wisconsin as a Tenth Round Pick in 1983, and in terms of value, is hard to beat.

Isaac Curtis played his entire pro career with the Cincinnati Bengals, where the Wide Receiver would parlay his First Round selection into a four Pro Bowl career.

Cris Collinsworth used his tall frame (6' 5") to cause physical mismatches often when he played at Florida, and the All-American was able to the same after being drafted by the Bengals with their Second Round Pick in 1981.

Corey Dillon was an All-Rookie (1997) after the Cincinnati Bengals took him in the Second Round from the University of Washington.

The Cincinnati Bengals got their value’s worth when they took UCLA’s Man Montoya with a Seventh Round Pick in 1979.

From TCU, Andy Dalton won the starting job in the pre-season of his rookie year (2011).

In 1983, the Cincinnati Bengals had a Running Back named Pete Johnson, who was upset with his pay.  The San Diego Chargers had a Running Back called James Brooks, who was unhappy with his role.  The two teams swapped the two malcontents for each other, and it worked out well for Cincinnati.

Playing his entire career with the Cincinnati Bengals (1976-89), Reggie Williams started 196 of his 206 Games, all on right side Linebacker.

Andrew Whitworth helped LSU win the BCS Championship in 2003, and three years later he was Cincinnati's Second Round Pick.

Setting records at Lincoln University of Missouri, Lemar Parrish went to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Seventh Round of the 1970 Draft.  Despite being selected late and from a school that most people never heard of, Parrish wasted no time in making an impact on the professional level.
