Timeline
Raymond Anthony Horton (born April 12, 1960) is an American football coach and former player.
He became the first player in franchise history to score a defensive touchdown in back-to-back games and the third player (Jim Ridlon, 1964 and Larry Cole, 1968) ever to have 2 defensive touchdowns in the same season.
In 1978, Horton graduated early from Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma, Washington, where he was a prep All-American.
Horton accepted a football scholarship from the University of Washington, where he played as a cornerback and special teams from 1980 to 1982 after a redshirt year.
As a sophomore, he started 9 games.
As a junior, he was a first-team All-Pac 10 selection and honorable-mention All-American.
In his last year, he started 9 games, missing 3 contests with an ankle injury (where he was replaced by Vince Newsome).
He finished as a three-year starter with 10 career interceptions, 22 passes defensed, including 14 (school record) in 1981 and played in two Rose Bowls.
He was also one of the top punt returners in the nation.
He played college football at Washington and was drafted in the second round of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Horton was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round (53rd overall) of the 1983 NFL Draft.
He also was selected by the Los Angeles Express in the third round (25th overall) of the 1983 USFL Draft.
Horton decided to sign with the Bengals.
He earned the job as a starting cornerback with Cincinnati by the second game of the season (5 starts), finishing with a franchise rookie record 5 interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.
The next year, Horton was named the regular starter at right cornerback after the retirement of Ken Riley, posting 66 tackles and 3 interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.
In 1986, he was passed on the depth chart by rookie Lewis Billups and was moved to the nickel back role, making 55 tackles and one interception as the Bengals barely missed the playoffs despite finishing 10-6.
In 1987, Horton started 8 games, while replacing an injured Louis Breeden, tallying 53 tackles.
In 1988, he was moved to safety and played mainly nickel back.
He recorded 26 tackles, 3 interceptions and one sack as the Bengals won their second AFC Championship.
In Super Bowl XXIII, after being up 13–6 over the San Francisco 49ers at the beginning of the fourth quarter, driving from the Bengals 10-yard line, quarterback Joe Montana threw a pass towards Billups that he dropped in the end zone.
On the next play, the 49ers scored a touchdown, tying the game at 13.
Towards the game's conclusion, Montana threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to John Taylor who was being covered by Horton, for a 20–16 lead with 34 seconds left and the eventual championship.
He also was the team's punt returner during the game.
On March 14, 1989, the Dallas Cowboys signed Horton as a Plan B free agent with the intention of playing him at safety.
He was named the starting free safety, helping anchor the secondary and calling the defensive signals.
He collected 116 tackles (second on the team), 8 passes defensed (second on the team), 2 forced fumbles (led the team), one interception and one sack.
In 1990, he sprained his left knee in the fourth game against the New York Giants, that forced him to miss one contest and slowed him the rest of the season.
He posted 69 tackles, 6 passes defensed, one interception and 4 fumble recoveries.
In 1991, he finished third on the team in tackles (105), recorded 8 passes defensed, one interception and scored in back-to-back games: a fumble return in a 21-16 win against the New York Giants and a 65-yard interception return in a 20–17 win over the Green Bay Packers.
In 1992, he started the first 7 games before tearing his right ACL (he chose not to have surgery) and missing 4 games.
He still was able to be part of the championship team in Super Bowl XXVII.
Horton was released on June 1, 1993, with the Cowboys looking to give more opportunities to Washington and Darren Woodson.
He finished his career with 19 interceptions, 11 fumble recoveries, 3 sacks and 5 defensive touchdowns.
