Former Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Willie Anderson pinned his Hall of Fame absence on 'The Blind Side' in an interview with Kay Adams Thursday.
Willie Anderson played 13 years in the NFL, 12 with the Cincinnati Bengals and one with the Baltimore Ravens. He was a four-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro selection as a right tackle. However, he’s yet to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Anderson theorized there was something to blame in an interview on 'Up & Adams.' 'I think the media had a bias because they didn’t understand the importance of the guys we blocked over there were some of the best rushers of all-time,' he told Kay Adams. 'The whole ‘Blind Side’ thing got taken out because of the movie and the right side guys got pushed away.
