Ryan Anderson knows what you're thinking.

Yes, he's an Alabama outside linebacker. And sure, you notice him most when there's a quarterback to chase.

But there's more to it.

"A lot of people say we're pass rushers," Anderson said. "We're not. We stop the run. That's what Coach Tosh says: You stop the run, you have some fun. So we take pride in stopping the run. We're not just pass rushers."

And that label bugs you?

"A little bit," he confessed.

Anderson's 37 tackles ranked ninth on the team in 2015. Among those stops, 11.5 were made in the backfield -- 6.0 of which were sacks. That number ranked third on the team behind Jonathan Allen's 12 and Tim Williams' 10.5.

Anderson's nine quarterback hurries were second only to A'Shawn Robinson's 10. Back in 2014, the Daphne product was second on the team with nine quarterback hurries while making three sacks.

But the pass-rush specialist label bugs him.

"I take pride in being an all-around player," Anderson said, "not just being somebody they go up against on third down, just run up the field."

He's not bad at that, though. Left tackle Cam Robinson included Anderson in a group including Williams and Allen who are challenging edge players to block.

"Those guys are exceptional pass rushers," Robinson said last November. "We've got some guys that are also very stout against the run. Nothing that those guys do on Saturdays necessarily surprises me or shocks me because it's an every-day thing for me."
