A flurry of Alabama NFL Draft announcements have come since the Crimson Tide won the national championship on Monday night.
Just a few hours after it was revealed that Alabama RB Derrick Henry would turn pro, Crimson Tide LB Ryan Anderson took to Twitter to make his announcement:
Coming back to school another year.. Still a lot of stuff I want to accomplish #roadto17

That is big news for a linebacker corp that will lose its heart and soul in Reggie Ragland.
Anderson had six sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss for the Crimson Tide this season, and figures to be one of the key members to the 2016 defense.
