Bengals great Willie Anderson remains convinced that the Hall of Fame has a “bias” against right tackles

Willie Anderson was a four-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro selection while playing twelve seasons as an offensive lineman for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Anderson has made it clear that he believes he belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and why he believes there is a “bias” against right tackles.

Earlier this week, he explained to TMZ Sports why he believes protecting the blind side isn’t the only thing that’s important in football and why this might be the right time for him to join Canton.

“Look at the right tackle guys we faced on the line of scrimmage. I think the guys I faced and the work I did… I think there’s only one or two right tackles in the Hall of Fame.” “If it’s not one or two, it’s under five Anderson said.

“I think it’s been very misrepresented because people have a misperception of it because scouts have said, ‘Left tackle, left tackle,’ but when you play football you realize both tackles are important.”…. I still think there is a bias towards right tackles.”

Anderson theorized in an interview on “Up & Adams” in July that the movie “The Blind Side” would keep him out of the Hall of Fame.

He told TMZ Sports he only used it as an example because the game featured left tackles at the time.
