Former Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Willie Anderson will have to wait another year to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Anderson, a finalist once more, misses out on the 2024 class:
— Dwight Freeney
— Devin Hester
— Andre Johnson
— Julius Peppers
— Patrick Willis
— Randy Gradishar (senior)
— Steve McMichael (senior)
Anderson, the 10th overall pick from 1996 was a first-team All-Pro three times with four Pro Bowls, allowing 16 sacks over 195 games and blocking for some historic Corey Dillon rushing outputs. He is a member of the team’s Ring of Honor and was in his 11th year of eligibility and a finalist for the third consecutive year.
@Bengals fans and my supporters. I ask you a favor . Please let’s not start this Twitter campaign about me being Snubbed . Only 5 men can go . Every last man who got in into tonight deserves it. Please let’s not harass anyone and endless tweeting I was snubbed. But I thank yall
