Another Look at Bengals Ring of Honor Ballot
CB LEMAR PARRISH (1970-77)
One of the most electrifying Bengals of all-time … In eight seasons here he returned for a touchdown four interceptions, four punts, three fumbles, and a kickoff … His 47 interceptions from 1970-82 are second only to 53 of Bengals teammate Ken Riley and Steelers’ Mel Blount in those 13 seasons, both Hall-of-Famers …
THE NUMBER: Parrish is one of six cornerbacks with at least eight Pro Bowls and the only one not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
LAP’S TAKE: “From the ability to excite teammates, fans, and discourage opponents with a big-play ability, he might be as good as I’ve ever seen. That dude, man, he was electric. Electric with capital letters. Freaky athlete. He had some long arms. His change of direction, his burst was just unbelievable as a return guy.”
