Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Cincinnati Bengals will be inducting Dave Lapham and Lemar Parrish to their Ring of Honor this year.
Lapham is one of the most popular Bengals Offensive Linemen in team history, and was also among its most versatile. Playing most of his games at Guard, Lapham started at all five OL positions over his career (1974-83), and started 105 of his 140 Games. Following his playing career, Lapham became the radio voice of the Bengals, a role he still holds today.
Parrish played for the Bengals from 1970 to 1977, starting 101 of 105 Games at Left Cornerback. A six-time Pro Bowl Selection with Cincinnati, Parrish had 25 Interceptions for the team and also had 3,236 Return Yards with 5 Touchdowns.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Dave Lapham and Lemar Parrish for their impending honor.
