Anthony Munoz delivered Hall of Fame news to Ken Riley II

Anthony Munoz, the first Cincinnati Bengals player in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was the one doing the honors of informing the family of the second this past week.

Riley II had previously vowed never to visit the hall until his father’s wait ended.

Here’s a video of the historic moment:
