Possible NFL Landing Spots For Utah Defensive End Bradlee Anae

Apr 12, 2020, 9:34 PM | Updated: Apr 18, 2020, 9:11 pm

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Former Utah Utes defensive end Bradlee Anae will be looking for a spot at the next level to create havoc on opposing quarterbacks.

The Utah all-time sacks leader had a great Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine and has improved his draft stock to get selected in the second or third round of the NFL Draft.

Anae will certainly have his name called on Draft day.

Here are some potential NFL landing spots for Anae.

New York Jets

Insert Jets joke here but this team could use some help on the defensive side of the ball.

Anae would be a type of player that could give their defensive line some speed and athleticism off the edge.

Cleveland Browns

Personally, I am not a fan of this spot for Anae because standout defensive players have had their time cut short because of the inconsistency of their management and coaching staff in the past.

If things will be different this time around, Anae could thrive with the youth movement in Cleveland.

Arizona Cardinals

Like other teams in the NFL, the Cardinals are going through a youth movement under head coach Kliff Kingsbury and quarterback Kyler Murray.

The Cardinals are searching for players on the defensive side that will bring the franchise back to being competitive in limiting opposing teams from scoring points.

Arizona would be a prime opportunity for Anae to show that he can play at the next level for a long time.

Detroit Lions

The Lions are looking for some pass rushers that could come in and make an impact right away. Anae certainly fits that bill.

On the plus side, Anae spent some time with Lions head coach Matt Patricia at the Senior Bowl and loves Anae’s game.

The NFL Draft will take place from April 23-25.
