Ken Riley was never in the Pro Bowl. So he probably won't ever be in HOF. Blame the Sports Writers who vote on these things. Riley should have been in many Pro Bowls. For no Pro Bowls, Riley is most Under Rated Bengal Player Ever by National Media.
Same goes with baseball. If you throw your jockstrap on the field in New York area they put you in HOF and you take up most of Ken Burns Baseball, while an Ernie Banks not New York gets mentioned just a few seconds. My bet is Tony Perez never makes HOF if not for his time in Boston and Philly so New York writers could see him. Maury Wills in Sports Illustrated said Tony was most under rated player in baseball. That must have changed when he played near New York.
The Ken Burns Baseball shows it. It's like, if it didn't happen in New York or Boston area, it never happened. That is what happened to Ken Riley in NFL.
Had Ken Anderson played for Giants or Jets or Patriots, forget about it. Anderson would have been a New York MUST for HOF.
