Texans defensive has sack in NFL debut
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - MARCH 03: Will Anderson Jr. of Alabama poses for a portrait during the NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium on March 3, 2023 in Indianapolis, Indiana. – Texans rookie defensive end Will Anderson busted through Baltimore Ravens veteran offensive tackle Morgan Moses with a powerful move, sending the lineman reeling backward.
Anderson is the first rookie to record a sack in the first game of the season in Texans franchise history. The rip move was an impressive flex as Anderson jammed his right biceps underneath Moses’ arm to render him off-balance, leading to Jackson falling to the ground for a loss of six yards in the fourth quarter. Anderson’s sack was a bright spot in a 25-9 defeat at M&T Bank Stadium as the Texans overall were overmatched against a returning playoff squad.
Anderson has earned heavy praise from the coaching staff and general manager Nick Caserio ever since they drafted him after a blockbuster trade with the Arizona Cardinals. Although the primary focus of the Texans’ rookie class has been on starting quarterback C.J. Stroud, Anderson has arguably been just as or even more impressive.
Anderson Jr. plays the game with a hungry approach, getting to quarterbacks and running backs with skill and determination. The Texans limited Jackson to 17 of 22 passing for 169 yards and one interception by cornerback Steven Nelson. Anderson pressured Jackson on that play, but the Texans allowed the Ravens to convert 3 of 5 red-zone opportunities. That proved to be a big difference in the outcome.
