The Houston Texans have shocked the NFL world by trading with the Arizona Cardinals for the 3rd overall pick to draft Will Anderson!
Anderson, who played at the University of Alabama, was a disruptive force on the EDGE for the Crimson Tide. Anderson recorded an impressive 34.5 career sacks and 62 career tackles for loss. Will was one of the most feared defenders in all of CFB throughout past two seasons!
Anderson possesses a rare combination of speed, strength, and technique that make him a difficult player for opposing offenses to handle. The Texans are confident that Anderson can continue to develop his technique and become a dominant player in the league. Anderson's college production and potential make him a worthwhile investment for the Texans. If he can translate his success at the college level to the NFL, he has the potential to be one of the best defensive players in the league for years to come!
