Biography
Ken Riley is 79 years old, an athlete, from United States.
Kenneth Jerome Riley (August 6, 1947 – June 7, 2020) was an American professional football cornerback who spent his entire career with the Cincinnati Bengals, first in the American Football League (AFL) in 1969 and then the National Football League (NFL) from 1970 through 1983. Riley recorded 65 interceptions in his career, which was the fourth most in NFL history at the time of his retirement. Despite his accomplishments, he was never an exceptionally well-known or popular player.
Riley was never once selected to play in the AFL All-Star Game or the Pro Bowl, but he was selected to three All-Pro teams. His teammate, eight-time Pro Bowler Leapin' Lemar Parrish, was considered the better cornerback. In 2023, four decades after Riley's career ended, Riley was posthumously elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
