Tim Anderson (born on November 22, 1980, in Clyde, Ohio) is a defensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. Wearing number 77, he is 6'3" and weighs 304 pounds.
Anderson played high school football in Clyde, Ohio. After being named to the All-Ohio team, he attended Ohio State University, where he was a starter for three years. As a freshman, Anderson played behind Ryan Pickett on the depth chart. When Pickett skipped his senior season to enter the NFL draft, Anderson stepped up and that season recorded three sacks and nine tackles for loss. Anderson's best remembered play at Ohio State came in the 2002 national championship season, when he batted down a fourth-down pass from Illinois's Jon Beutjer in overtime to preserve Ohio State's 23-16 victory.
Anderson was selected by the Bills in the third round of the 2004 NFL draft. Anderson played in only one game in 2004, but started several in 2005. On October 16 against the New York Jets, Anderson tackled Jets quarterback Vinny Testaverde for the first sack of his career.
