Will Anderson Wins Defensive Rookie Of The Year Award

Will Anderson Wins Defensive Rookie Of The Year Award

10 months ago

Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson was named the NFL's 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year on Thursday. The Texans hit a home run in last year's draft, as Anderson (the third overall pick) and quarterback C.J. Stroud (the second overall pick) took home the rookie awards this year. The 22-year-old Anderson had a total of 45 tackles (29 solo), seven sacks, 10 tackles for loss and 22 QB hits in 15 regular season games for Houston. With Stroud on offense and Anderson on defense, the Texans have building blocks on both sides of the ball that have extremely bright futures. Anderson should have a bigger role in his second NFL season in 2024 and will certainly be on the radar of fantasy managers in IDP formats after his strong rookie campaign.
