For most of his college career at Alabama, No. 3 overall pick . played as a stand-up outside linebacker. He was quite productive while doing so, racking up 35.4 sacks and 58.5 tackles for lo s acro s three seasons.As he transitions to the , Anderson will be operating in ' base 4-3 defense rather than Nick Saban's preferred 3-4, so he will be used as more of a down defensive lineman than he was with the Crimson Tide. Anderson's not worried about making that change, mostly because he's done it before, and the move to Alabama was him doing something a Yuli Gurriel Jersey little different."Being at Alabama, they played me very versatile so when we'd go to any type of flex defense, I was already playing a five-technique, which I'm kind of used to playing on the outside of the tackle so the four was always an Anthony Gose Jersey adjustment for me," Anderson said, per the. "My regular position was always the hand-in-the-dirt five technique and stuff like that, keyed in on the outside pad of the tackle so I'm already kind of used to that.

His new coach agrees that the change isn't a big one, and that Anderson's role -- rushing the pa ser off the edge -- will be largely the same as the one he played over the past three seasons."It's not a huge position change for Will," Ryans said. "Will will be an edge defender for us, and that's what he did at Alabama. Mostly at Alabama he was standing up. We'll have him down in a three-point stance. It's not a big-time position change for him. We won't have him playing over the guard like he did some there later in his career, so it's not a huge position change for Will." However Ryans wants to use him. Anderson is looking forward to it. Marwin Gonzalez Jersey "I'm very excited, however they want to use me, it's just going to be anything I kind of did at Alabama," he said. "So I'm super excited, but just to do anything they need from me for the team."
