Zierlein:

Three-year starter who aligned as a big nickel and box add-on at Toledo and will likely be targeted in that same capacity by pro teams. Anderson's size, length and speed stand out on tape. He's a determined run supporter who plays with adequate block take-on and play strength near the line of scrimmage. He's a rangy, long tackler with the ability to short-circuit outside runners. Anderson has the potential to handle coverage underneath but might not have the instincts or ball skills to handle additional coverage duties. He has the ability to fit as backup down safety with upside.

PFF:

Anderson played 202 snaps as a part-time safety in his freshman 2017 season. He then locked down the slot role in Toledo’s defense as a sophomore before becoming a starting all-around safety in 2019. Over the past two seasons, though, he trended toward more of a box-slot player with few deep reps on his tape. That was likely by design, as he seemed to have issues locating deeper targets. His work around the line is where he wins, and he will be coveted for his versatility there in Cincinnati.
