Cincinnati Bengals Pro Football Hall of Fame watch

The Pro Football Hall of Fame will induct the class of 2023 on Aug. 5. Here are players from the 2023 Bengals who could join the immortals in Canton someday.

Fringe Hall of Famer

Orlando Brown Jr., offensive tackle: It didn't take long for Brown Jr. to cement himself as one of the best offensive tackles in the league. Since entering the NFL as a third-round pick in 2018, he has made the switch from right to left tackle, made four straight Pro Bowls (2019-22) and won a Super Bowl.

Brown Jr. also earned himself a big payday this offseason, signing a four-year, $64.09M contract with Cincinnati. He is still only 27 but is clearly continuing to ring chase after spending time with the Chiefs and Ravens. If Brown Jr. continues playing at a high level and adds more jewelry to his collection, he'll make the Hall of Fame.

Young players who could develop into Hall of Famers

Joe Burrow, quarterback: What hasn't already been said about Joe Cool? Burrow has turned the franchise around, making back-to-back AFC title games and a Super Bowl appearance over the past two years. Although he has yet to win an NFL MVP, Burrow could be on his way to his first in 2023 after throwing for 9,086 yards and 69 touchdowns from 2021-22 and earning his first Pro Bowl berth in 2022.

Burrow owns the NFL record for career completion percentage (68.2%) over future Hall of Fame QB Drew Brees, who's second (67.7%). If the 26-year-old delivers the franchise's first Super Bowl championship, it'll be hard to keep Burrow out of Canton.

Ja'Marr Chase, wide receiver: Chase may have had the greatest rookie season for a wide receiver in NFL history, posting 81 catches for 1,455 yards and 13 touchdown catches on his way to being named the 2021 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He set the NFL rookie record for most receiving yards in a game (266), most receiving yards in a season and most receiving yards in a postseason (368).

After just his second season and two straight Pro Bowls, Chase has already put himself in the conversation as one of the best receivers in the league. The sky is the limit for the 23-year-old, and the Hall of Fame is not a far-fetched dream. Chase and Burrow clearly have a special connection, and together, they could easily help each other have Hall of Fame careers.
