A reunion I did not see coming: The #Saints are bringing back former first-round LB Stephone Anthony, source said. He’ll help on special teams, too, as he’s back with ST coordinator Darren Rizzi. They were together in Miami.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 25, 2019Anthony was a first-round pick of the team in 2015 when they received an extra first rounder form the Patriots in exchange for wide receiver Brandon Cooks.
Anthony would go on to lead the team in tackles his rookie year and seemed to be the linebacker of the future for the squad, even making the Pro Football Writers Association all-rookie team.
