DE3 - Jamaal Anderson, Arkansas	Official Bio NFL.com Profile
Height: 6-5 Weight: 288 40 yard dash: 4.75 Grade: 93
Strengths: Anderson made the unusual switch from a top prep WR to an elite defensive end. He uses his long arms and athletic frame to get by offensive tackles. Anderson has the quick first step needed to rush the passer and uses his agility to make tackles in the open field. He has good feet and is able to make plays even when knocked off balance. Though not bulky, he has the necessary strength not to be liability in the rushing game. Weaknesses: Anderson needs to improve his technique, especially using his hands to keep offensive lineman off of him. He needs to learn to effectively use pass rushing moves. Despite being 288, he is just filling out and needs to add more bulk and muscle to maintain leverage against the strongest of offensive lineman. Anderson sometimes is too intent on getting upfield and will go exceedingly wide, which opens his side up to screen plays. Overall: .Jamaal Anderson made a living in the backfields of opposing SEC offenses in the 2006 season, racking up 19.5 TFL and 13.5 sacks. He uses his athletic frame, combined with above average agility, to easily handle slower offensive tackles. It will be interesting to see how Anderson handles the best offensive lineman at the next level. He is still developing as a player and has a very high upside if he can fill out and add strength while maintain his quickness. His technique should improve with NFL coaching and by all accounts he is a smart football player who works very hard on and off the field.
