MJ Anderson brings pro-caliber size and backfield disruption to Iowa State’s DL
In his 2022 season at Iowa State, MJ Anderson flashed as a productive, NFL-sized defensive lineman at 6-foot-3 and 275 pounds, finishing with 37 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks in 12 games with five starts.[1][2] The eye test matches the stat sheet: he plays with real juice off the edge, can collapse plays in the backfield, and has the kind of frame that makes him a fit for teams wanting a physical, disruptive DL with upside.[1][10]
