The Detroit Lions are doing their homework on the best prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft class. According to a report from Aaron Wilson, the Lions have already hosted Alabama edge defender Will Anderson for a top-30, pre-draft visit.
Anderson is considered by many to be the best defender in this year’s class. In three years at Alabama, Anderson racked up 204 tackles, 58.5 tackles for loss, and 34.5 sacks—the second-most sacks in program history. He was awarded the Bronko Nagurski Trophy in back-to-back years, given to the best defensive player in college football (by the Football Writers Association of America), and Anderson finished fifth in Heisman voting in 2021.
