The tone of the Alabama team will be set by the return of award winners such as quarterback Bryce Young and linebacker Will Anderson. 3:20
Will Anderson wants to change the perspective of the award if he wins the Heisman this season.
Anderson said on Tuesday at SEC media days that he felt like they loved offense over there. They love the game of football.
Athletes who played defense have never won the award. Charles Woodson won the award in 1997 but he also played receiver and returned kicks.
Anderson wants to change the minds of voters.
He said that it's not just for him but for other defensive players to know that they have a chance. We are good enough to be a candidate for the award.
The Bronko Nagurski Award, given to the top defensive player in college football, was won by Anderson as a sophomore.
Anderson received the third-most first-place votes with 31, even though he was not one of the four candidates for the award. The quarterback won the award.
Those who watch Alabama's film will see how disruptive Will is.
Young said that Will deserved it. He is an amazing person.
Anderson is projected to be a top-five NFL draft pick in five years, as he returns to lead a defense that is expected to be one of the best in the country.
He said he's going to keep doing the same thing as Will Anderson. Nobody else expects me to be anything other than what I am. I am going to approach the season the same way I did last year.
On the plane ride from Alabama to SEC media days in Atlanta, Battle spoke with Young about the experience of winning, as he talked about the Heisman.
Battle believes that defensive players should be able to win the award. Will Anderson would be a good addition to the watch list.
