Will Anderson Mock Draft Roundup
Where does Anderson appear in 2023 NFL mock drafts? Here's a roundup of mock drafts and where Anderson is being slotted.
3rd overall, New York Jets
With his power, quickness and instincts, Anderson is a rare prospect and a blocker's worst nightmare. He would have been drafted No. 1 in the 2022 NFL Draft if he were eligible and will be the first non-quarterback drafted next April barring injury or anything off the field.
3rd overall, Chicago Bears
The Bears traded Khalil Mack in an attempt to rebuild, so they'll have to find a new dominant edge rusher to pair with Robert Quinn.
Will Anderson has ridiculous speed and athleticism. He was a force in Alabama's defense this past season.
