The Splash Zone 6/12/18: Could Stephone Anthony Be A Surprise Starter?

A name that appears to be flying under the radar is Stephone Anthony. With the return of Raekwon McMillan and Jerome Baker in the draft, Anthony appeared to be an afterthought.

A full offseason might have helped him as Anthony is now slated as one of the team’s starting linebackers.
