Marvin Lewis says Willie Anderson worthy of Pro Football Hall of Fame

Willie Anderson will likely be up for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame again in 2015.

Willie Anderson is one of the best players to ever wear Bengals stripes.

Unfortunately for him, most of his career came during one of the darkest times in the franchise's history. After being drafted out of Auburn in the first round of the 1996 draft, Anderson's Bengals went 34-78 over his first seven NFL seasons. The next five years were better, as Cincinnati went 42-38 before Anderson played his final year in the NFL for Baltimore prior to retiring in 2008.
