46 days till Bengals season opener: Every player to wear No. 46 for Cincinnati

Like some of the surrounding jersey numbers, the No. 46 isn’t an overly prestigious one throughout Cincinnati Bengals history.

But two notables stand out.

One from modern times — long-snapper Clark Harris donned the number from 2009-2022.

One from the lore of the late 70s and early 80s — Pete Johnson, who led the team in rushing in each of his seven seasons with the team and was the all-time team leader in several categories before getting traded.

With roughly 46 days until the regular season kicks off, here’s a look at every player to wear the number for the Bengals, per the numbers at Pro Football Reference.
