Will Anderson draws incredible praise on social media after 4-sack performance
By Adam Spencer
Published:
Georgia has the best team defense in the country, but the best individual defensive player in the country might call Tuscaloosa home.
Alabama pass rusher Will Anderson was a monster on Saturday night at Mississippi State, recording 4 sacks in a dominant win over the Bulldogs.
When you’re mentioned in the same conversation as Derrick Thomas, you’re doing something right:
Will Anderson isn’t human. ?@will_anderson28
4 sacks ✔️
Will is the 1st player since Derrick Thomas (1988) to record 4 sacks in a game.#BamaFactor #RollTide pic.twitter.com/DCRfu7JrUK

The crazy thing? He’s only a sophomore, so he has to come back to school next season!
Here’s 1 of Anderson’s 4 sacks, where he simply blows past the Mississippi State offensive lineman:

Imagine being an offensive lineman, looking across from you, and seeing Will Anderson down in a sprinters stance ready to smack the manhood out of you. 0/10. Wouldn't recommend #RollTide #BAMAvsMissst

I love that Will Anderson not only talks the talk, he also walks the walk. He’s shown out big time tonight

If Will Anderson isn’t the recipient of every defensive award this year, something shady is going on behind the scenes. Talk about a special player… he is that! He’s so much fun to watch! #RollTide

Will Anderson might be the best defensive player I've ever seen. Wish I could've seen Derrick Thomas.

Anderson now has 7 sacks in 7 games. What a year he’s having.
