Florida A&M's Ken Riley to be enshrined in Black College Football Hall of Fame

CINCINNATI, Ohio --  Former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Ken Riley deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He deserves to be in the Ring of Honor, when the Bengals decide to invest in their legends, history and traditions. He deserves complete recognition.

He will get it this February, though not in the NFL.

Riley was one of six that were named to the 2015 class of the Black College Football Hall of Fame. Riley, who will be enshrined on Feb. 28, will be joined by Roger Brown, Richard Dent, L.C. Greenwood, Ernie "Big Cat" Ladd, Donnie Shell and former Jackson State head coach W.C. Gordon.

 

Riley played quarterback for Florida A&M University, posting a starting record of 23-7 in college -- even leading his team to Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles each season that he started.
