The former Pro Bowl quarterback advocates for his former Cincinnati Bengals teammate’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer passes behind protection from right tackle Willie Anderson during an NFL game against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 17, 2006, at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.Among Anderson’s credentials are three consecutive seasons as a first-team All-Pro. Those seasons coincide with Carson Palmer’s first three years as the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback after being the No. 1 pick in the 2004 NFL Draft.
“I think he’s a sure-fire Hall of Famer,” Anderson said. “Unfortunately, he played for the Bengals for a long time. And at right tackle, you can only have so much influence on the game, and he had a massive influence. He always had my open side. He was great in the run game, great in the pass game. I just remember the respect he had from the defensive linemen he played against.
“And really, it was near the end of his career when I played with him, but a phenomenal leader. Just having him in the locker room and being a young quarterback with a veteran tackle like that that was a great leader and a guy that spoke up when he needed to speak up. Led by example but also led with his words and was a great motivational speaker. Just an absolute Hall of Famer, in my opinion.
Only one of those postseason games came with the Bengals. The other three came during his final NFL season, which Anderson spent with the Baltimore Ravens.
