One-sentence scouting report: a running back with good hands whose best traits may route-running and pass-catching.One play:How he fits in KC: Anderson’s most intriguing traits as are a route runner and pass catcher. He looks to have natural hands that he’s willing to extend beyond his frame with confidence. High-points passes like a wide receiver. That may seem like a throwaway quality, but it really isn’t. It’s valuable. Teams can trust him in the passing game and it’s not a strain for him to be involved. Because of the offense that he ran at North Dakota State, Anderson didn’t get an overwhelming amount of opportunities to showcase his ability. However, despite limited utilization Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , ran a variety of routes and showed promise. Anderson showed sharp breaks out of his routes and was able to separate. He efficiently executed seam routes out of the backfield. As a whole, he averaged 16.6 yards per catch his senior year. In the run game, Anderson showed good footwork with traffic around his feet. He possesses average to above-average lateral agility. He had enough speed to get the edge in the run game. Anderson’s contact balance is average to above average.Anderson is a player that Andy Reid and company could trust with a well-rounded route tree both split out and out of the backfield. Anderson told us at the Senior Bowl that he models some of his game after Alvin Kamara for his ability to work in the slot. He could create a dynamic element to the running back responsibilities in the passing game. Anderson has more potential as a receiver than runner. He’ll never be a guy that will lead a running back committee but is handed the ball off more as a tendency breaker than as a primary function of his role. He’d be an interesting addition in day three.Want to read more player profiles from Arrowhead Pride’s 25 Days of Draftmas? Click here for the complete list.

His long arms and ability to rush off the edge — as well as an ability to set the edge in the run game — make Takitaki an ideal Sam linebacker in Steve Spagnuolo’s 4-3 Under defense. He offers some coverage as a backup Mike linebacker and adds another potential element in sub rush packages.His ability to play special teams at a high level also makes him a perfect fit for the Chiefs.He’ll need to get some positional focus, as BYU played him a pretty much everywhere in their defense. So he shows some sloppy technique, which is understandable for a player that may not have had a defined role throughout his college career. He has a tendency to overrun the tackle and he’s a little too light to play as a true EDGE at the next level, which will tend to drive his value down into the late third or early fourth round.With his ability to rush the passer, drop into coverage and play the run as a Sam linebacker — all at a high level — Takitaki projects very favorably as a defender in Spagnuolo’s scheme.Want to read more player profiles from Arrowhead Pride’s 25 Days of Draftmas?
