43 days till Bengals season opener: Every player to wear No. 43 for Cincinnati

When looking at the list of players who wore specific numbers for the Cincinnati Bengals over the years, the No, 43 sticks out more than most around it.

Modern fans will thank former safety George Iloka, a very productive defensive back from 2012-2017 on some solid defenses who picked off nine passes over six years in town.

In the mid-90s, some fans might remember that Michael Brim spent a few productive years of his own with the number, too.

As we continue the march to the team’s opener against the Browns in September, here’s a look at every player to wear the No. 43 in Bengals history, per Pro Football Reference.
