CINCINNATI — Will 2025 be Willie Anderson's year to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame? NFL.com's Adam Rank thinks so, as he has Anderson getting the call as a member of next year's class.

Anderson is the greatest right tackle in Bengals history and deserves to be in the hall alongside Anthony Muñoz and Paul Brown.

"Anderson was a three-time first-team All-Pro (2004-2006)," Rank wrote. "He was also selected to the Cincinnati Bengals Ring of Honor in 2022. He's been a Hall of Fame finalist for three consecutive years. It's time to bring it home for one of the most dominant linemen of his era."

Anderson played in Cincinnati from 1996-07 before suiting up for his final NFL season in Baltimore.
