Derek Anderson is a jumbo, all-around UNI tight end with NFL buzz
In the 2025 season, Derek Anderson showed real two-way value for UNI: he started all 12 games, caught 20 passes for 184 yards and 2 touchdowns, and also posted 13 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and a sack in 2024, which hints at a rugged, versatile edge few tight ends bring[2][7]. At 6-6 and around 260 pounds, he brings size, blocking power, and enough receiving production to stress defenses, while his 2026 Pro Day numbers and preseason recognition suggest a pro-caliber frame and serious developmental upside[2][8][9].
