Update:

Alabama’s Will Anderson Jr is widely seen as the top edge rusher in the 2023 NFL draft, and with so many teams in desperate need of beefing up their defense, he is almost guaranteed to go very quickly indeed.

Here is a quick rundown of his scouting report.

Scouting report

A five-star from Marietta, Georgia, Will Anderson Jr. has been every bit as good as he promised to be ever since his arrival in Tuscaloosa. He finished up his Crimson Tide career as the undisputed best defender in the Nick Saban era, second only to the legendary Derrick Thomas all-time.

Strengths

First-step quickness, surprising power, great hands and an uncanny ability to get to the quarterback unrelentingly. Plays bigger than his size, comparisons to Von Miller are inescapable. Great attitude.

Weaknesses

Not always comfortable in open field tackling, can miss arm tackles.
