Lapham, who enters his 50th season with the Bengals in 2025, is one of the team's most popular and most beloved historical figures. As a player, he was arguably the most versatile offensive lineman to ever wear a Bengals uniform, lining up to start at all five O-line positions during his 140-game career. Most of his career starts came as a guard, and left guard is where he was positioned on the 1981 team which reached Super Bowl XVI. After his playing career, Lapham moved into the team's radio broadcast booth, where he has worked ever since. Often known as "Mr. Bengal," Lapham has been the team's radio analyst since 1986, offering fans his insightful football knowledge, quick wit and boundless enthusiasm. Lapham will celebrate his 1,000th game with the Bengals this season (including both his playing and broadcasting careers).
