Willie Anderson will be waiting at least another year to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
During Thursday’s NFL Honors awards show, the 2022 class was announced, and Anderson was not among those named to it.
Here is the 2022 class:
- LeRoy Butler
- Bryant Young
- Sam Mills
- Cliff Branch
- Richard Seymour
- Art McNally
- Tony Boselli
- Dick Vermeil
The 10th overall pick in the 1996 NFL Draft by way of the Auburn Tigers, Anderson became an instant-impact starter for the Bengals and was eventually named to the 1996 NFL All-Rookie Team by the Pro Football Writers Association.
