It’s not hard to name one of the best players to ever wear the No. 65 for the Cincinnati Bengals — the honor goes to former guard Max Montoya.
A seventh-round pick in 1979, Montoya became a starter in his second season and never looked back, making a Second-team All-Pro and four Pro Bowls, starting in two Super Bowls for the Bengals.
More recent notables to wear the number include Clint Boling and Alex Cappa.
With roughly 65 days until the Bengals kick off the season against the Cleveland Browns, now is a good time to look at the list of players who wore No. 65, per Pro Football Reference.
