New Orleans Saints rookie ILB Stephone Anthony making his presence felt fast

The New Orleans Saints are wrapping up their second week of organized team activities, and a number of players are beginning to stick out, including 2015 first-round pick Stephone Anthony.

The Clemson product has stood out well at the “Mike” linebacker position, likely making David Hawthorne feel a bit nervous about his job security.

The 6-foot-3, 243 pound ILB has the size, speed (top performer at combine with a 4.56 40-yards dash), strength and pursuit to be a force in the middle and cover the field from sideline to sideline.
