Schefter added that Anderson, 29, is looking
into a coaching career in college football, likely with a Power
5 program.
Anderson entered the league with the Broncos in 2013 as an
undrafted free agent out of California. Denver reached Super
Bowl XLVIII in Anderson's rookie season, though the back had
just seven rushes for 38 yards in that campaign. The Broncos
lost to Seattle in the title game.
The 5-foot-8 Anderson earned a Pro Bowl nod after leading the
team with 849 rushing yards during the 2014 season. He captured
a Super Bowl ring following the 2015 campaign after the Broncos
defeated the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.
Anderson recorded a career-best 1,007 rushing yards in 2017
before being released in 2018.
He spent his last two seasons with the Rams, Panthers and
Detroit Lions, with his late stint with Los Angeles resulting in
his third Super Bowl appearance in the 2018 season. He posted 34
yards from scrimmage in the Rams' 13-3 loss to the New England
Patriots.
Anderson tweeted that he was "done with ball" on Dec. 23 of last
year after a tryout with the Seattle Seahawks that day.
Anderson totaled 3,497 rushing yards, 900 receiving yards and 27
total touchdowns (22 rushing, five receiving) in 71 career
games.
