TDBH: Pollard Alliance honors ex-RBs coach Anderson for lifetime achievement

Word out of Paul Brown Stadium today is that recently retired Jim Anderson is to receive the Fritz Pollard Alliance lifetime achievement award for his 29 seasons as the Bengals running backs coach. For the second straight year a member of the Bengals receives a major honor from the diversity group during its annual awards reception at next week's NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Bengals president Mike Brown, recipient of last year's Game Ball for making a difference in leveling the playing field for minorities, is set to present Anderson with the honor. "We think 29 years is something to be proud of," says John Wooten, chairman of the Pollard Alliance.
