Zaire Anderson, LB

CJ Anderson on Vic Lombardi’s YouTube interview stated fans should remember Zaire Anderson’ name. Anderson has the same story right now as fellow Broncos linebacker, Brandon Marshall (signed his extension with the Broncos). After performing well in the preseason last year, Anderson proved to be worthy enough to stay on the practice squad. The young Broncos linebacker has a thumping body as a run stuffer and a range to cover tight ends and running backs. Anderson will have a longer road for playing time, but if a player like CJ Anderson sees an NFL future in fellow Anderson, Broncos may have found a gem to replace Trevathan in 2016. An intriguing player, Zaire Anderson is a versatile linebacker who has spent time at safety during his collegiate career at Nebraska. If called upon, Zaire could spell Stewart, Ward and make an impact on special teams. This a very, very, very lofty comparison; however, Zaire Anderson has the makings to be LaVonte David if given the time to grow.
