Dane Anderson offers a compact, explosive skill set, but is still an early-career question mark
Anderson is a 5-foot-11, 210-pound freshman running back at Northwestern whose 2025 usage was extremely limited, with just 3 carries for 9 yards, so the tape-and-role sample is thin; the reason to care is his toolset, not his box score. EA’s 2026 ratings give him a 74 overall with standout athletic traits — 87 speed, 89 acceleration, 88 toughness, and 92 injury — which points to a back with burst, physicality, and durability upside. The fit question is simple: he profiles as a developmental, change-of-pace runner rather than an immediate volume centerpiece.
