Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post-2021 revision of our top 50 Cincinnati Bengals.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals won their third AFC Championship, but again fell to a California-based team in the Super Bowl, as they lost to the Los Angeles Rams. Despite the potency of the team, the key players are all very young, and it only yielded one new entrant, and no other movement within the Top 50.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Anthony Munoz

2. Ken Anderson

3. Geno Atkins

4. Ken Riley

5. Boomer Esiason

You can find the entire list here.

The lone new entrant is Running Back, Joe Mixon, who went to his first Pro Bowl last season.  He debuts at #50.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Joe Mixon was a beast of a Running Back at the University of Oklahoma, though off-field issues likely cost him on Draft Day, where he fell to the Second Round of the 2017 Draft, landing with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Mixon was decent as a rookie (628 Rushing Yards, 4 TDs), but he made his expected move to a higher echelon of RBs, as a sophomore, breaking 1,100 Rushing Yards, and doing so again in 2019.  An injury held Mixon to only six Games in 2020, but last season Mixon had a personal best 1,205 Rushing Yards, with 13 Touchdowns on the ground.  He was rewarded with his first Pro Bowl, and was instrumental in the Bengals march to a Super Bowl appearance.  Last year, also saw Mixon exceed 1,000 YFS.

Currently in his seventh season in the NFL, Mixon could break 8,000 Yards From Scrimmage in 2023, and is a player in his peak.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Los Angeles Chargers failed to make the playoffs but were one of the more exciting teams to watch with several young players on the rise.  There were no new entrants in the Top 50, but one jump of an existing player.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Junior Seau

2. LaDainian Tomlinson

3. Lance Alworth

4. Dan Fouts

5. Philip Rivers

The only change on the list is Nick Bosa, who climbed from #50 to #39.  The 2016 Defensive Rookie of the Year went to his fourth Pro Bowl last season.

Two weeks into the 2022 NFL Season, we have another significant retirement to look at in Football, as Joe Haden, who just signed a one-day contract with the Cleveland Browns, his original team, has announced his retirement.

Haden was a BCS Champion and All-SEC Selection at Florida, and the Cornerback parlayed his collegiate success to a 7^th Overall Selection in the 2010 Draft by Cleveland. 

Haden would win the starting Left Cornerback job during his rookie season, and he would later earn Pro Bowl accolades in 2013 and 2014, and recorded 19 Interceptions for the Browns before he signed with division rival Pittsburgh in 2017.

With the Steelers, Haden played five years, netting another ten picks with a third Pro Bowl coming in 2019.  Over his 12 NFL seasons, Haden had 29 Interceptions with 615 Tackles.

Haden will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2027, and while he is unlikely to enter, we will be uploading his biography and option to vote soon.  He was however ranked #120 Overall in our 2022 pre-season rank of active players to consider for Canton.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Joe Haden the best in his post-playing career.
