Saban saw Anderson as in ILB in the NFL:

Alabama Crimson Tide Football LB Ryan Anderson using advice from cousin, Nick Saban at Senior Bowl

I like this pick more and more. Anderson, like Allen, is a versatile players. Which means, they can stay on the field in most situations and allow more situational players an opportunity to be on the field with them. Also, it may mean that as other players step up, or under perform, or get injured, they can be shifted around. ILB that can help rush the QB, is a ball magnet, and has some quickness and coverage ability may prove to be the greater need for us than edge rusher, and then again, it may not. It's just good to have an immediate impact player that may be starting caliber at either. That said, he hasn't played ILB, so maybe he can't or will need time to adjust, but he seems like a guy who will do whatever it takes to help the team win.

Edit: Alabama's sack total was surprising to even Tide players | AL.com

I can't wait for these guys to reacquaint themselves with Mr. Prescott.
