Packers S Zayne Anderson grabs first career INT in first career start

Posted on by newssite

In his first career start in the National Football League, Green Bay Packers safety Zayne Anderson grabbed his first career interception.

With the New Orleans Saints driving in the third quarter, Anderson — who started at safety next to Xavier McKinney — made a leaping interception of Spencer Rattler’s throw down the field to preserve the Packers’ 24-0 lead on Monday night at Lambeau Field.

Here’s the first career interception for Anderson:

Anderson, now in his fourth NFL season, is playing in his 32nd career game and 25th career game with the Packers. Primarily a special teamer, Anderson was thrust into starting duty against the Saints with Javon Bullard and Evan Williams both inactive while dealing with injuries.

Anderson went undrafted out of BYU in 2021. He intercepted three passes over 50 games and six collegiate seasons.

Anderson isn’t the only former BYU player to enjoy a career first at Lambeau Field on Monday night. Running back Chris Brooks, who played for BYU in 2022, scored his first career touchdown in the first half.
