My Take
What grabs me about Will Anderson Jr. is how much he achieved before the pros even called. Two Bronko Nagurski Trophies at Alabama and a national title is the kind of college resume that usually flatters and fades, yet his 193 cm frame and relentless edge rush translated cleanly to Houston. I have a soft spot for defensive ends, because their best work rarely shows up in highlight reels the way a touchdown does. He decides games quietly, by collapsing pockets and erasing plays. Born in 2001, he is still ascending, and I suspect we have only seen the opening chapter of a genuinely disruptive career.
Overview
