Ken Anderson and Isaac Curtis, the Bengals’ iconic and inaugural big-play connection, as well as newest Bengals Ring of Honor inductee Lemar Parrish, head a list of 52 senior candidates for this year’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Anderson, the only eligible quarterback with four NFL passing titles not in the Canton, Ohio shrine, has made it four straight years to the semifinals. Curtis is looking for his first trip after Anderson threw him 51 of his 53 career touchdown passes, more career TDs than Lynn Swann, Curtis’ Hall-of-Fame peer from the AFC Central 1970s. Both are also in the Bengals Ring of Honor.
Parrish, the only eligible cornerback with at least eight Pro Bowls not in the Hall, is also looking to advance to the semis for the first time.
