Two former Cincinnati Bengals could become Pro Football Hall of Famers Thursday night

On Thursday night, the number of Hall of Fame players who spent most of their NFL careers with the Cincinnati Bengals could double or triple.

Former Bengals cornerback Ken Riley and former Bengals right tackle Willie Anderson are both finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame 2023 class. On Thursday night at the NFL Honors awards show in Arizona, this year’s Hall of Fame class will be announced.

Riley is one of three finalists on the Seniors Committee ballot. To gain induction, Riley will need to receive at least 80% approval in the Seniors Committee’s vote.
