Will Anderson Jr. is expected to be an early pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and a notable NFL scout and talent evaluator has weighed in about the Alabama pass rusher.

Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com noted that Anderson reminds him of Von Miller, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams who is now with the Buffalo Bills.

“I realize this is high praise but I got the same vibe watching Anderson that I did when I studied Miller coming out of Texas A&M in 2011. Both guys have very long arms. They understand how to set up blockers and finish. They are devastating on the backside versus the run and they play with excellent effort. Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowl selectee, bends a little better than Anderson but I’d give the Bama edge rusher the nod when it comes to pure power.”

Interesting, Jeremiah pointed out that Anderson is perhaps most impressive on extra-point attempts, which is a unique area to review, but it’s something that New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick puts an emphasis on.

“Anderson, despite being the most talented player in college football, plays harder than anyone else on the field during what some would consider a meaningless snap. I asked a source at Alabama about his character and he told me, “That’s the best thing about him.” It’s rare to find a player with his combination of talent and intangibles. Special!”
