Pro Football Hall of Fame Announces Ken Anderson as 2024 Senior Semifinalist
CINCINNATI — The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced former Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson as a senior semifinalist for the 2024 class this week.
Ken Riley made it into the HOF with this year's class via the same path and Anderson could be next.
He was the Bengals' first NFL MVP player in franchise history during the 1981 AFC Champion season. All in all, Anderson played 16 seasons in Cincinnati (1971-86)—the longest of any player in franchise history. He completed 2,654 passes (59.3%) for 32,838 yards, 197 touchdowns and 160 interceptions.
On Pro Football Reference's Hall of Fame calculator, Anderson rates higher than inductees like Troy Aikman, Sonny Jurgensen, Len Dawson, Bob Griese, and more. Although his score (82.99) is below the average HOFers at quarterback (108).
Anderson joins 11 other legends, three of which will get chosen for induction by the HOF seniors committee next month.
