The NFL Draft class is heavy with quarterbacks, but Will Anderson is a top-five value.

He totaled double-digit numbers for sacks in his three seasons at the University of Alabama. Anderson faced double and triple teams in 2022; however, he recorded ten sacks for a team that finished 11-2. He ended his career with 34.5 sacks and 62 tackles for loss, becoming the lone player in Crimson Tide history to be a two-time Unanimous First-Team All-American. 

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Anderson is visiting the Seattle Seahawks.

Seattle has the No. 5 overall pick and Anderson is one of the best overall players. Carroll would love to recreate the “Legion of Boom” he had and Anderson would be a great piece to start it. We will see how the Seahawks play it in the draft.
