WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — The New Orleans Saints have high hopes that their 2015 rookie class can make an immediate impact, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
Two days into training camp, the Saints are already showing some confidence in a pair of first-year linebackers at key positions.
First-round pick Stephone Anthony and second-round pick Hau’oli Kikaha spent the entire 11-on-11 portion of Friday’s practice working with the starters on defense, fueling the hope that the pair could immediately assume key roles for a defense trying to rediscover the magic it had in 2013.
