Will Anderson Jr. is looking scary for the Houston Texans as he prepares for a contract year.
That’s a good thing for DeMeco Ryans’ defense and a nightmare for everyone else in the NFL/
During Tuesday’s open practice, Anderson was seen working drills in front of fans, where he dismantled the dummy and nearly decapitated the stunt machine during position drills. Here’s a look at the clip below of the defensive line working drills.
Anderson, who last season nearly doubled his sack total from his Defensive Rookie of the Year season, is poised to eventually become one of the highest-paid defensive ends this time next season. While still building off his Pro Bowl season of 2024, Ryans has remained impressed by Anderson’s consistency and growth as he enters Year 3.

“Will has done a really good job of taking his game to the next level when it comes to his pass rush. I haven’t seen a person that’s more dialed in when it comes to what moves he’s trying to execute and not pre-determining moves but truly playing instinctive, playing off of what set the offensive line is giving him, whether he needs to play speed to power, whether he needs to be a little more finesse, working the edge, working the inside,” Ryans said Tuesday. “He’s just doing a really great job of really developing that pass rush repertoire.
“I have to keep him away from my quarterback because he’s getting a little too close. But, he’s doing a great job.”
The Texans return to training camp in front of fans on Wednesday morning before the off day on Thursday.
