Historically speaking, the No. 84 probably isn’t as fondly remembered as the fun No. 85 in Cincinnati Bengals lore.
But it’s not as far behind as it might seem.
Historical figures like Bob Trumpy and more recent modern greats such as T.J. Houshmandzadeh donned the number, as did a modern first-round pick such as Jermaine Gresham.
With roughly 84 days to go before the Bengals play the Cleveland Browns in the season opener on September 10, we thought it would be fun to step back and quickly outline every player to wear the No. 84 for the Bengals, based on the history books at Pro Football Reference.
