Former Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Willie Anderson is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the third consecutive year.
With just one other offensive lineman making the finals this year (former All-Pro guard Jahri Evans), it feels like the third time will indeed be the charm for the Bengals great.
One of the best overall tackles of his era, Anderson is in his 11th year of eligibility for the Hall and only three players have been finalists more than him.
Anderson wrote the following on social media: “Thank you so much to all our fans who have kept my name alive these last 15 years of retirement. Also others who are not Bengals fans who have kept this push to the finals for me last 3 years! I am truly appreciative of you. Wouldn’t be at this point without you #Whodey!”
The selection committee will pick the 2024 class next month, with the announcement happening at the NFL Honors during the week of the Super Bowl.
