Because of a [[Redshirt (college sports)|redshirt]] year due to academic issues,<ref name=deiasp/><ref name=tbcfpia/> Anderson was eligible as underclassman for the [[1965 NFL Draft]], then known as a "future" pick.<ref name=1rdp1s/><ref name=gbdnb>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=CYBQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ZBEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7216%2C6107662|newspaper=Milwaukee Sentinel|title=Green Bay drafts 9 backs, 10 futures|date=November 30, 1964|page=3-part 2}}</ref><ref name=hplas>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NXZQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rRAEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7222%2C640580 |newspaper=Milwaukee Sentinel |last=Lea |first=Bud |title=How Packers landed a star |date=February 3, 1966 |page=2-part 2 }}</ref> In 1964, he ran for 966 yards with three touchdowns (TDs) and had 32 catches for 396 yards and four TDs;<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/donny-anderson-1.html |title=Donny Anderson Stats &#124; College Football at |publisher=Sports-reference.com |access-date=2014-07-14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808161228/http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/donny-anderson-1.html |archive-date=2014-08-08 }}</ref> Despite being selected by the Packers, he returned for his senior season at Texas Tech in [[1965 NCAA University Division football season|1965]] and led the [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Red Raiders]] to an 8–2 regular season and a berth in the [[Gator Bowl]] on the afternoon of New Year's Eve.<ref name=cfbdwh65>{{cite news|url=http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/big12/texas_tech/1965-1969_yearly_results.php|publisher=College Football Data Warehouse|title=Texas Tech, yearly results|agency=1965-69|access-date=January 19, 2014|archive-date=January 10, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140110093809/http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/big12/texas_tech/1965-1969_yearly_results.php|url-status=dead}}</ref> As a senior, he ran for 705 yards with 10 TDs and had 60 catches for 797 yards and seven TDs.

==Professional career==
Anderson began his NFL career in [[1966 Green Bay Packers season|1966]] as #44 for the world-champion Packers. Fellow [[1965 College Football All-America Team|All-American]] [[Jim Grabowski]], a fullback from [[1965 Illinois Fighting Illini football team|Illinois]], was the Packers' first pick in the [[1966 NFL Draft]], and ninth overall.

In the following season, Anderson took on a far more prominent role in the Packers' offense, gaining 733 yards from scrimmage, catching 22 passes, and scoring nine touchdowns, while also gaining another 324 yards returning kicks.  The Packers went on to a second consecutive championship win in [[Super Bowl II]], where Anderson was the team's second leading rusher with 48 yards and a touchdown, while also catching two passes for 18 yards.  He also punted the ball six times for 239 yards.  One of his punts was fumbled, which the Packers recovered and were able to convert  into a field goal just before the end of the first half.

===Punter===
While with the Packers under head coach [[Vince Lombardi]], Anderson originated the concept of [[wiktionary:hang time|hang time]] in [[Punt (gridiron football)|punting]]. Until Anderson, punters typically strove for maximum distance, with the NFL's leaders usually averaging 45 or more yards a punt. [[Punt return]]s varied, with an average of perhaps five yards per return. In [[1967 Green Bay Packers season|1967]], the left-footed Anderson worked instead at punting the ball higher, shortening the distance traveled, but increasing the ball's time in the air, allowing better coverage by his team on the punt return. Green Bay punted 66 times that year, 63 of them by Anderson; opponents were able to return only 13 of them for a total of 22 yards, or about one-third yard (one foot) per punt.

Anderson had a total of 387 punts for 15,326 yards.

Lombardi explained the concept to [[sportswriters]] who questioned why he did not try to find a better punter than Anderson, who averaged only 36.6 yards per punt that year. Lombardi pointed out the lack of return yardage. Other punters soon followed Anderson, working for greater hang time. Eventually, the NFL changed its rules governing punt coverage, to increase the ability to return punts.

==After football==
Following his retirement from the NFL, Anderson spent nearly two decades on the celebrity [[golf]] tour.<ref name=watnda>{{cite web|url=http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-1/Where-are-they-now-Donny-Anderson-is-on-the-golf-course/d9732842-bd95-45fe-885e-1ac2742d20e3 |publisher=Packers.com |title=Where are they now?
