Anthony Muñoz is a former offensive tackle for the National Football League's Cincinnati Bengals. He earned a scholarship to USC and was selected by the Bengals in the first round of the 1980 NFL draft.  At 6'-6" and 280 pounds, Muñoz was extremely agile and excelled at both pass-blocking and run-blocking. His blocking was a big reason for the Bengals emergence as an elite team in the 1980's, and assisted them to 2 Super Bowl appearances; Super Bowl XVI and Super Bowl XXIII.

Considered by many peers and fans alike to be one of the finest offensive tackles ever, Anthony Muñoz was a perennial Pro Bowl selection, a three-time Offensive Lineman of the Year (1981, 1987, and 1988), and was named to the team 11 consecutive times. In 1994, Muñoz was named to the National Football League's 75th anniversary all-time team.

In 1998, Anthony Muñoz was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Shortly after receiving the honor, Muñoz's hometown of Ontario renamed its Colony Park "Anthony Muñoz Hall of Fame Park". The renaming ceremony was held on June 26, 1998, and was attended by Muñoz, his family, and city officials, and Ontario residents. The park, incidentally, is the place where Muñoz met his wife DeDe after a pickup softball game during his youth.

Anthony Muñoz continues to work in the community while also making personal appearances and speaking engagements on behalf of corporations. He has also endorsed a furniture store in Cincinnati.
