Will Anderson Jr is expected to be one of the surprise packages from the 2023 NFL Draft class, but to those inside the game, his emergence has been a long time coming. The 21-year-old outside linebacker will undoubtedly be the highest-picked defensive player in this year's Draft.

The Houston Texans are expected to take Anderson Jr with the second overall pick, despite suggestions they could look to take one of the many quarterback options. That's partly as reports suggest they've been keen admirers of Bryce Young, who is widely tipped to be taken first overall by the Carolina Panthers.
Anderson was part of the Alabama team which won the 2021 Rose Bowl against Notre Dame, which capped off a superb year for the defensive lineman. During the 2021 season, Anderson clocked 17.5 sacks with 58 tackles completed.
The pass rusher is quick and regarded as an elite defender who can break blocks and get at the opposing quarterback, adding some much needed strength to the Texans' defensive line.
Express Sport has all the details for Anderson including his net worth, partner details, height and weight.

How tall is Will Anderson Jr and how much does he weigh?
Anderson, despite being just 21 years-old, stands at 6ft 4in tall and weighs 253lbs. The pass rusher isn't just a big lump, however, as he proved at the combine.
Anderson sprinted a 4.6 second 40-yard dash, putting him in the 67th percentile of all players. His speed, combined with his strength and size, makes him a terrifying prospect for offensive linemen looking to protect smaller quarterbacks.

What is Will Anderson Jr's net worth?
Just like Bryce Young, who is expected to be the first overall pick in this year's Draft, Anderson Jr can expect to sign a lucrative rookie contract wherever he is drafted. His current net worth is currently unknown, but it's likely he's pocketed a fair bit of money through his Name, Image and Likeness deals.
He's signed deals with the likes of YOKE Gaming and Icon Source, and admitted last year during an Alabama media day that he, at the time, was driving a 2021 Porsche Cayenne GTS. That Porsche has a rough value of $120,000, so it's fair to say he's not too short of money.

Does Will Anderson Jr have a partner?
According to First Sports, Anderson currently doesn't have a romantic partner. It's reported online that Anderson Jr likes to keep his personal life private, so it's entirely possible he doesn't want to expose any romantic partner to too much publicity at the moment.
