Recently, ESPN released a 53-man roster of the best players from the last 25 years. What about the same thing with just Cincinnati’s players?
This week, ESPN’s Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder put together a 53-man roster of the greatest players since 2000, or the NFL All Quarter Century team.
Willie Anderson, the legendary right tackle, was the only member of the Cincinnati Bengals to make the list (unless you count Terrell Owens).
For fun, A to Z Sports’ John Sheeran made his own 53-man roster of the best Bengals players over the last 25 years.
You can see his selections below:

Fans replied with some suggestions for changes, like Corey Dillon over Joe Mixon at running back and D.J. Reader over Domata Peko.
One member of Sheeran’s team, Germaine Pratt, was recently released by the Bengals, despite being just 29 years old, potentially signaling a sharp decline.
We bid farewell to Pratt in the video below.
So what do you think of Sheeran’s list?
Who would you replace? Let us know in the comments below.
