In those 21 seasons, the Bengals have had TWO offensive lineman be Pro Bowlers. Andrew Whitworth and Willie Anderson. That is less than one per DECADE of coaching OL.
I'm not aware what marks someone a "near" Pro Bowler.
Both players you named had multiple Pro Bowl appearances, so they didn't have "TWO," they had many times two Pro Bowlers. And "near" would be be - brace yourself, difficult concept to grasp - a Pro Bowl alternate or someone who finished near the top of the balloting.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
