While Anderson has a stork-like frame, he goes by the handle “Goose.” The defensive force was shut out a few times while playing the Madden NFL video game with teammates and earned the nickname.

Gordon McGuinness of Pro Football Focus quoted “Even over USC’s Leonard Williams, Stanford DL Henry Anderson “was arguably the best defensive lineman in the Pac-12 and in this entire draft class during the 2014 season.” The sky is bright for the defensive lineman!

In his rookie season, Henry Anderson was a beast for the Colts defense collecting 31 tackles and a sack in only 9 games. On November 8, during a 27–24 win over the then-undefeated Denver Broncos, Anderson suffered a knee injury and did not return to the game. The following day, he was placed on injured reserve, ending his 2015 season.

On April 28th, 2018, Anderson was traded to the New York Jets from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a seventh round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
