  Draft Scout by Conference









  Alabama football edge defender Will Anderson Jr. seemed darn near unblockable at times in 2021. He finished the year with 34.5 tackles for loss and 17.5 sacks. In the process, he became a unanimous All-America selection and won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, given to the country's most outstanding defensive player. Anderson has shown few signs of letting up in 2022, if A-Day is any indication. He finished with two sacks in the spring game, making life difficult whenever he was on the field. Recently, Alabama coach Nick Saban was asked by someone if Anderson even has a weakness. "I said, 'Well, he's got to learn more about pass coverage because he plays a position where every now and then, he's supposed to drop," Saban said.

But if you're Alabama, dropping Anderson in coverage doesn't make sense unless necessary considering how he can dominate offensive linemen. Saban jokingly asked reporters in the room after the game what they would do with Anderson. "You all are gurus of the game; Should we spend a lot of time on him dropping or letting him rush?" Saban asked with a grin. No guru title needed to know that answer. "So his weakness is pass coverage," Saban said. "But he helps the defense when he sacks the quarterback." - Montgomery Advertiser
