27 and 30 years is how long the two Kens, Anderson and Riley, have waited to hear a phone call from the Pro Football Hall of Fame about their induction. Anderson has gotten closer than Riley, at least in recent years, but relativity doesn’t mean much when the goal still seems miles away. Both are more than worthy, yet both have been ignored for far too long.
2020 seems like the year that may change, for one of them at least.
David Baker, the president and CEO of the Hall of Fame, announced earlier this week on SiriusXM NFL Radio that the board in Canton, Ohio would consider allowing 20 inductees for the 2020 class as part of the NFL’s 100th anniversary happening this season.
