He is a smooth route runner who turns into a fluid after the catch threat. He's done a good job putting on almost 20 pounds in the offseason and will look to turn that into more opportunities on offense this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1167285"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a828aa55fd2a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Columbus Rank: 8th</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anthony is one of the premier run defenders off the edge in Columbus.

He's able to match up in any coverage system, showing he ability to play up on a man, or sit back in zone and attack the ball when its in the air. His football IQ is a step above and you can see it through his performances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
