For 14 years, most of us who are old enough to remember Mel Blount looked at him as the enemy.
In 1989, the former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame. He finished with 57 career interceptions and two touchdowns, was a four-time Super Bowl Champion, a five-time Pro Bowler, six-time All-Pro, and NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1975.
Today, Blount may just be the best friend the Cincinnati Bengals have in their quest to get Ken Riley into the Hall of Fame.
Blount recently took to Twitter in an effort to drum up support for the former Bengals great.
