Announcing his retirement from NFL last month, former Denver Broncos back C.J. Anderson said that he wants to pursue a coaching job. As it turns out, he didn’t have to wait for too long to get one.

Anderson’s alma mater Cal announced on Tuesday that Anderson joined the Golden Bears staff and will serve as a volunteer quality control coach on offense.

Anderson played two years of college football for California University (2012-2013), rushing for 1,135 yards and 12 touchdowns in 25 games.

“It feels good to come home,” said Anderson. “When I was playing here or in the NFL, I was too busy to notice a lot of the other things that are here. I take a look around and I see my jersey on the wall or some of the accomplishments I’ve earned. It’s nice to kind of give back to the Bears and keep the tradition going here, whether it’s getting back to winning here or putting the talent here into the NFL.”

C.J. Anderson went undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft but landed a deal with Denver Broncos. He spent five years with the organization, helping Broncos to win Super Bowl 50 and earning one Pro Bowl appearance during that span.

Anderson later also played with Carolina Panthers, LA Rams, and Detroit Lions. He

It didn’t take long for Detroit Lions to move on from veteran running back C.J. Anderson. The team announced on Tuesday that they have released Anderson while picking up RB Paul Perkins from New York Giants via waivers.

Anderson ends his stint in Detroit after just two games, in which he had 16 carries and rushed for 43 yards.

Lions picked up Anderson in April, signing him to a one-year deal after his impressive run with the Los Angeles Rams in the previous season. He played five games with the Rams in regular season and playoffs in 2018, stepping in for injured Todd Gurley, and had 488 rushing yards and four touchdowns during that stretch.

C.J. Anderson spent the majority of his professional career with Denver Broncos, who signed him as an undrafted free agent back in 2013. His best season in Denver came in 2017 when he started all 16 games and rushed for 1,007 yards and three touchdowns while adding 28 receptions for 224 yards and one touchdown. Anderson also spent time with Carolina Panthers and Oakland Raiders.

In a way, running back C.J. Anderson saved the Los Angeles Rams last season. When they temporary lost Todd Gurley to an injury, Rams signed Anderson, and he responded with two monster games in the regular season while also playing meaningful snaps in the postseason. Despite this, the 28-year-old is still without a job.

Anderson was recently asked by one fan on Twitter where he will sign next, and the one-time Pro Bowler said he doesn’t know while adding that he feels its “disrespectful” he is still without a job.

“The disrespect is real guess,” Anderson wrote on Twitter. “It is what It is. It’s the same story over and over. All I ever wanted was a full opportunity to play 16. My 16 vs anybody else 16 with no front office / coach trying to move me out the way or play we like this guy game. Just want a 16 all I ask.”

During his six years in the NFL, C.J. Anderson had the opportunity to play all 16 regular season games only once and managed to pass the 1,000 rushing yards mark. It remains to be seen whether some NFL team will give him the chance to try and replicate this success.

Anderson, who previously also played with Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers, is averaging 4.5 rushing yards per carry through his career. His NFL career stats include 3,454 rushing yards for 22 touchdowns alongside 108 receptions for 900 yards and five touchdowns.

“The style that Carolina likes to play definitely fits my style and my game,” – Anderson told ESPN. “As far as ground and pound, the ‘Keep Pounding’ slogan Carolina uses fits well. My game is breaking tackles and finding ways to use that and make long plays.“

“I just felt this was the best team for me. I get to play the type of style I want to play.” – he explained his decision to sign with the Panthers.

Carolina Panthers have their starting running back in Christian McCaffrey, so C.J. Anderson will look to compete with Cameron Artis-Payne to be the second-string back. He will also help the Panthers to fill the void that was left after the team decided to release Jonathan Stewart.

C.J. Anderson signed with the Denver Broncos in 2013 as an undrafted free agent. He earned his first and only Pro-Bowl appearance in 2014 and was the part of the Broncos team that won the Super Bowl 50.

In 2017, Anderson had his first 1,000 rushing yards season in his career while adding three rushing touchdowns. He also had 224 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.

“He’s coming off a 1,000-plus yard season and gives us another good runner to compete with the other good backs we have,” – said Panthers’ general manager Marty Hurney. “He runs with excellent pad level, has great vision and consistently gets yards after contact.”

Despite the strong showing, Broncos decided to release him in order to save more than $9 million in cap salary while giving their young running backs Devontae Booker and De’Angelo Henderson more playing time.
