Will Anderson Jr., the No. 3 overall pick of the NFL Draft, is No. 51 for Houston. He was a dominant defensive player in three seasons at the University of Alabama, compiling 34.5 sacks and 62 tackles for loss. DeMeco Ryans is ready to get everything from Anderson as a first-year head coach. The native Georgian looked great in rookie minicamp, organized team activities, and mandatory minicamp. He has worked his way to first-team defensive end for the Texans and signed his rookie contract.
