Take a look at Bengals Legend Anderson, Willie Rejected from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2024
The right tackle, who was a finalist for the Hall of Fame this year, was outstanding in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
CINCINNATI — Once more, Willie Anderson fell barely short. Due to his lack of acceptance in the final voting, the Bengals icon will not be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year. He has been a finalist for three years running.
Anderson has a strong argument for being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the highest honor in football. For 13 NFL seasons, he terrorized edge rushers, earning the first consecutive First-Team All-Pro streak by a right tackle since the 1970s (2004–06).
Twelve of his seasons as a player, from 1996 to 2008, were spent in Cincinnati. This year’s nominees are Devin Hester, Steve McMichael, Andre Johnson, Patrick Willis, and Julius Peppers.
