85 days till Bengals season opener: Every player to wear No. 85 for Cincinnati

The No. 85 has quite the prime spot in Cincinnati Bengals lore.

Chad Johnson wore the number for the Bengals, of course. But so did other major notables throughout franchise history such as Isaac Curtis and Tim McGee.

More recently, the number belonged to Tee Higgins before he went back to his college No. 5 after NFL rule changes.

With roughly 85 days left before the Bengals kick off their season opener against the Cleveland Browns, we thought it would be fun to step back and take a look at every player in team history who wore the No. 85, as chronicled by Pro Football Reference.
