Texans' Will Anderson Jr. already shattering career records after Week 8

C.J. Stroud is already renowned as one of the best players in the NFL after a season-and-a-half of impressive quarterback play. Stroud's fellow 2023 top-five pick should soon earn similar acclaim.

Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. is trending toward All-Pro consideration in 2024 after a standout start to his second NFL campaign. Anderson sits at 7.5 sacks through eight games, both surpassing his 2024 sack total (7.0) and more than all but just two players this season. Sunday marked another standout effort for the Alabama product. Anderson tallied an outrageous 12 pressures in a Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts, and he added two sacks of QB Anthony Richardson.
