Will Anderson Jr. Declares for 2023 NFL Draft; Alabama Star Ranks No. 1 by B/R Scouts

Will Anderson Jr., a pass-rusher for Alabama, is going to declare for the NFL draft in three years.

The teammates decided to enter the draft.

Anderson has become one of the best players in college football at any position, which is unsurprising.

Anderson is rated the top player in the draft by Bleacher Report's scouting department. He was the projected No. 1 pick in B/R's preseason mock draft, and he hasn't changed his mind. The defensive end was the top ranked player in the class.

The 5 star prospect out of high school made his presence felt immediately at the college level, becoming a starter as a true freshman and recording seven sacks for a team that went on to win a national championship.

Anderson was the leader in the country in tackles for loss with 34.5 and he was also the leader in sacks with 17.

The production led to being named SEC Defensive Player of the Year, winning the Bronko Nagurski trophy as the nation's top defensive player, and finishing fifth in voting for the Heisman trophy.

Anderson made plays with 10 sacks and 17 tackles for loss in 12 regular-season games before his Sugar Bowl victory over Kansas State.

At the beginning of the season, he showed off his athletic ability with an intercept return for a touchdown.

The defensive star is going to the next level, where he will have high expectations to make a quick impact.

Anderson has a good chance to be the top pick.
