Willie Anderson asks Mike Brown to honor past Bengals

The passing of Bengals legend Ken Riley is another sobering reminder that the Pro Football Hall of Fame still doesn’t include one of the NFL’s greatest defensive backs in its history.

Despite being fifth all-time in interceptions, Riley never got the nod from Canton. Along with his former teammate Ken Anderson, Riley is one of the best players in pro football history without a bronze bust in the Hall of Fame.

Former tackle Willie Anderson argued that the Bengals should honor Riley, among other Bengals legends, in their own way.

Anderson argues that the Bengals should have a way to honor the history of the franchise and those who were a part of it.
