The Bengals selected Anderson in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 166th overall.
Cincinnati moved up in a deal with Chicago in order to secure Anderson out of Toledo. Anderson is one of the most athletic safeties in this class. He ran a 4.36 in the 40-yard dash and a 6.64 in the three-cone drill, both of which rate above the 90th percentile at his position. He's not just an athlete, though. Anderson racked up 84 tackles as a junior in 2019 and broke up 21 passes in his college career. This is a good landing spot for him as he'll get to learn behind Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell.
