Anderson, who runs a 4.6 40-yard dash according to Hudl, can make plays with his feet.
At the beginning of his highlight reel, you see him evade the rush, roll to his left, and whip the ball 35 yards downfield to an open receiver. You see more of the same across the rest of tape. He earned the starting job as a freshman at Laney, but actually lost it in his sophomore year to UNLV-bound Kurt Palendech.
Highlight reels are great for showing you what a player has done or could do with the proper support. Not necessarily consistently though because those other plays don't make it onto the highlight reel. I like Anderson's highlights very much, but none of our recent QB's has had the opportunity to develop into what they could be because of poor blocking and poor management from coaches. I think Casey and Weist were getting something started but even he was severely handcuffed by a lack of time to go through progressions. And rotating guys in and out, well you know how I feel about that. And even if he is successful evading the rush a good percentage eventually that will catch up with him if he's always on the run.
