Lane Kiffin compares Will Anderson to Derrick Thomas and Myles Garrett

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin knows what he’s going up against in Alabama all too well. Throughout the game week so far, Kiffin has praised the Crimson Tide for its pool of talent and head coach Nick Saban for his dominance in his career as well as this season.

But Kiffin zeroed in on one of Alabama’s most dominant defenders this season in linebacker Will Anderson, as he compared the sophomore to a pair of dominant pass rushers in NFL great Derrick Thomas and current Cleveland Brown Myles Garrett.

“He’s a dominant player,” Kiffin said when asked of Anderson.
