Anderson was a standout at Northwestern University, finishing second in the nation in total rushing yards in 2000 behind LaDainian Tomlinson while also finishing 5th for Heisman Trophy.
He made an amazing recovery from injuries sustained in a car accident on Jan. 3, 2004. Spent 14 days in an intensive care unit and nearly three weeks in the hospital after undergoing surgery to remove his spleen and repair a fractured eye socket. Also suffered liver damage, broken ribs, and a collapsed lung in the rollover accident. Anderson was fully recovered in time for the team’s June minicamp.
