Willie Anderson Blames 'The Blind Side' for Snub

Former Cincinnati Bengals right tackle Willie Anderson claims that the movie 'The Blind Side' has negatively impacted his candidacy for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Anderson argues that the film created a bias favoring left tackles by popularizing the notion that they are more valuable than right tackles. This perception has influenced both the media and young players, who now predominantly aspire to play left tackle. Despite his impressive career, including three first-team All-Pro selections and four Pro Bowl appearances, Anderson believes this skewed viewpoint has contributed to his repeated snubs from the Hall of Fame. His comments highlight a broader issue in the NFL regarding positional value and recognition.
