70 days till Bengals season opener: Every player to wear No. 70 for Cincinnati

The No. 70 is one of the more understated numbers in Cincinnati Bengals history.

There aren’t a ton of major names who wore the number for the franchise, with defensive lineman Ron Carpenter in the 70s starting 86 games for the team.

In more recent years, the number has gone to names such as Cedric Ogbuehi and D’Ante Smith.

Still, the number makes for a fun bit of Bengals-based trivia. With the season opener against the Cleveland Browns roughly 70 days away, here’s a look at every play to wear the number in Bengals history, per the lore recorded at Pro Football Reference.
