Will Anderson, top defensive player in NFL draft, makes top-30 visit to Detroit Lions

If the Detroit Lions want to draft Will Anderson Jr., they likely will have to trade up to get him. But that is not stopping the team from taking a look at the player considered the best edge rusher in this year’s NFL draft.

The Lions hosted Anderson on a pre-draft visit, KPRC-TV in Houston reported.

Anderson is projected to be the first non-quarterback drafted, potentially as high as No. 2 overall to the Houston Texans. He also visited the Texans, and is considered a possibility for the Arizona Cardinals at No. 3, Indianapolis Colts at No.
