Like the numbers surrounding it in franchise history, the list of players to wear the No. 40 for the Cincinnati Bengals isn’t littered with instantly familiar names.
Still, some memorable standouts are there.
Take Charles Alexander, for example. The running back who joined the team in 1979 was in town through the 1985 season, rushing for 2,645 yards and 13 scores as he went.
And in the mid-2000s, Madieu Williams had some solid seasons while wearing the number, which most recently belonged to Brandon Wilson.
As we keep counting down the days until the season begins, here’s a look at every player to wear the number in franchise history, per Pro Football Reference.
