Best reactions after Chad Johnson, Boomer Esiason join Bengals Ring of Honor
The Cincinnati Bengals made it official this week, announcing the enshrinement of two more franchise legends in the team’s Ring of Honor.
Chad Johnson and Boomer Esiason got the call in this year’s class, joining Ken Anderson, Willie Anderson, Paul Brown, Isaac Curtis, Anthony Muñoz and Ken Riley in the Ring of Honor.
As expected, Chad himself took to social media to talk about the historic occasion right alongside fans, which was fitting given his role in helping so many fans fall in love with the team during his playing days.
Here’s a look at some of the best reactions as the Bengals made things official.

A little disappointed for Parrish whom I voted for but selfishly I love Boomer and Chad and they were more prevalent for myself as a Bengals fan. https://t.co/hybwPvUrsz

Congrats to Chad & Boomer! Corey Dillon MUST be next along with Leapin' Lemar Parrish! Sad to see the Bengals ignore C Bob Johnson, THE ONLY BENGAL TO HAVE HIS UNIFORM NUMBER (54) RETIRED! https://t.co/ABAHHpr9Cn
