Muñoz was the third overall pick in the [[1980 NFL Draft]] by the [[Cincinnati Bengals]]. His selection was viewed as a major risk by many pundits since knee problems limited the 6 ft. 6 in., 280-pound Muñoz to just a combined 16 games in his final two college seasons.
 
However, Muñoz became a starter in his rookie season and remained a fixture at left tackle for the Bengals for 13 seasons and is considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, offensive linemen in NFL history. Despite his history of injuries, Muñoz missed just three games during his first 12 seasons. His rigorous workout routine included working out in the weight room he had installed in his home and running three to four miles every day.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/member.aspx?PLAYER_ID=158|title=Anthony Muñoz - Pro Football Hall of Fame Official Site|website=Profootballhof.com|access-date=August 8, 2017}}</ref>
In addition to his talents as a blocker, Anthony Muñoz was also a capable receiver, notching seven receptions for 18 yards and scoring four touchdowns on [[tackle-eligible play]]s, including one in 1984 from rookie quarterback [[Boomer Esiason]] against the [[Cleveland Browns]] in [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]].
