The Houston Texans’ decision to trade up to the third overall pick was a draft night surprise that few expected as the 2023 NFL draft got underway on Thursday night. They took Alabama defensive end Will Anderson Jr. with the coveted pick, a player who many believe to be the best defensive prospect in the draft.
Anderson embraced his family after being selected by the Texans before heading to the podium at Union Station in Kansas City to meet NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell.
It may take some time for Anderson to develop into a cornerstone player, but his presence on Houston’s defensive front could prove to be crucial to the team’s success next season.
