One of the reasons the Houston Texans moved up to the No. 3 overall pick to take Will Anderson was for his game-changing abilities.
Naturally the Alabama product would be able to affect the game as a pass rusher, which is what the bulk of his two-time Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year awards were comprised of.
What about special teams?
The rookie showcased his athleticism Sunday afternoon in Week 3 at TIAA Bank Field against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kicker Brandon McManus attempted a 51-yard field goal with 12:02 to go in the second quarter, but Anderson blocked the attempt.
Houston used Anderson’s special teams splash play to setup a scoring drive wherein fellow rookie C.J. Stroud hit tight end Brevin Jordan to push the Texans ahead 14-0.
