2021 Bengals HOF Candidates

[George Cantstandya]

Torry Holt and Reggie Wayne were finalists last year so Chad is probably out. There are no RBs that were finalists last year so maybe this is the year Dillon gets in. But the list is fairly loaded:

(17): Shaun Alexander, Mike Alstott (FB), Tiki Barber, Earnest Byner, Larry Centers, Corey Dillon, Warrick Dunn, Eddie George, Priest Holmes, Steven Jackson, Jamal Lewis, Eric Metcalf (also WR/KR/PR), Glyn Milburn (also WR/KR/PR), Lorenzo Neal (FB), Fred Taylor, Herschel Walker (also KR), Ricky Watters

O-line also has 2 finalists from last year. * is a finalist.

(20) Willie Anderson (T), Matt Birk ©, *Tony Boselli (T), Lomas Brown (T), Ruben Brown (G), *Alan Faneca (G), D’Brickashaw Ferguson (T), Kevin Glover (C/G), Jordan Gross (T), Kent Hull ©, Olin Kreutz ©, Logan Mankins (G), Tom Nalen ©, Chris Samuels (T), Jeff Saturday ©, Chris Snee (G), Brian Waters (G), Richmond Webb (T), Erik Williams (T), Steve Wisniewski (G)

So given the popularity of some of those other names I'm guessing the Bengals players get shunned again. But Dillon probably has the best chance if they don't go for Steven Jackson or Fred Taylor. Funny thing is all 3 ended their careers on the Patriots.
