Three Alabama players named to PFF’s All-America Defensive Team

Pro Football Focus honored a freshman for Alabama football by naming him to its All-True Freshman Team.

After showing love to offensive lineman Tyler Booker, the website has returned with its All-America Defensive Team. PFF had three Crimson Tide athletes named for this honor. Will Anderson (edge), Kool-Aid McKinstry (cornerback), and Brian Branch (flex) got recognized. Anderson, a junior linebacker, is a finalist for Bronko Nagurski, Chuck Bednarik, and Lott IMPACT awards.

He won the Nagurski Trophy in 2021 as the nation’s top defensive player. Anderson has 51 total tackles, including 17 tackles for loss (team-high) and 10 sacks (team-high).
