The Pro Football Hall of Fame named 122 Modern-Era nominees this week, and it included seven former Cincinnati Bengals.
Boomer Esiason, Corey Dillon, Chad Johnson, Willie Anderson, Justin Smith, and Takeo Spikes all made the list.
The list of 122 will be narrowed considerably, down to just 15 Modern-Era nominees by the time Super Bowl LVI kicks off.
Willie Anderson presumably has the best chance of getting into the Hall of Fame. Anderson was a four-time Pro Bowler and a three time First-Team All-Pro selection. He helped block for Corey Dillon and Rudy Johnson as the running backs set several franchise records.
