Ken Anderson Not Named Senior Finalist For Pro Football Hall of Fame

Anderson is arguably the Bengals' greatest quarterback.

CINCINNATI — Former Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson did not get voted in as a senior finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 

Randy Gradishar, Steve McMichael, and Art Powell are this year's finalists from the group of 12 that will get inducted into the HOF if they get 80% approval or better in January.

Anderson was the Bengals' first NFL MVP player in franchise history during the 1981 AFC Champion season. All in all, Anderson played 16 seasons in Cincinnati (1971-86)—the longest of any player in franchise history. He completed 2,654 passes (59.3%) for 32,838 yards, 197 touchdowns and 160 interceptions.

On Pro Football Reference's Hall of Fame calculator, Anderson rates higher than inductees like Troy Aikman, Sonny Jurgensen, Len Dawson, Bob Griese, and more. Although his score (82.99) is below the average HOFers at quarterback (108).

He now has to wait another year to get in the mix again.
