Anderson playing strong and confident

[scpanther22]

Entering his fifth NFL season, Anderson has finally settled in to a spot in the linebacking corps. During Carolina's post-draft minicamp and summer school sessions, he has lined up as the starting strongside linebacker. He said the time spent playing all three positions has been good preparation and that this defense fits him well.

"It feels good to know that you go out there with the first group and have a spot. But in our defense, we've got to have versatile backers, so I still play pretty much all three spots," Anderson said.

"This defense suits a backer who can run and hit. I fit that physically. Playing the (strongside) linebacker, that's a guy that has do all of the dirty work. He's got to be able to take on blockers. He's got to cover the tight end. I feel like I'm suited to do all those things. I'm a little bit bigger this year as well as faster, so it plays into what I do well."

Im rooting and have been rooting for Anderson for quite some time. He's my pick to win the other starting LB position

yeah people were hoping he'd be an immediate spoon replacement. I didn't read up on him very much I never knew it would take this long.

I think he'll play well.

People seem to think that because he's more athletic than Connor then he must not be as good in run support but I think he'll actually be better in both areas.

He's got the tools to be a star. Who knows as of today we may need him for TD's spot.
