As a sophomore in 2022 he played in 11 games and logged 327 snaps for the Flames. He made 14 tackles, 2 assists, and had 2 stops. In coverage he totaled 4 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, and an outstanding QB rating when targetted of 35.0.

He chalked up 48 tackles, 13 assists, and added 16 stops. In the secondary Anthony forced 6 pass breakups, 3 interceptions, and gave up QB rating when targetted of 62.3.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • He’s a technician in press coverage, with a strong punch and the ability to reroute receivers.
  • Flashes good ball skills. Anthony has the fluidity and change-of-direction ability to mirror quicker receivers underneath.
  • Willing in run support, coming downhill quickly when Anthony has a chance to make a play.
  • Can get up under a receiver’s chin and has the speed to flip his hips and run downfield. He has the quick and surprisingly powerful hands to jostle receivers early. But he’s at his best peeking into the backfield.
  • He’s long and strong enough in his core to steer receivers to the sideline without getting grabby with his hands when playing inside technique.
  • Effective out of the slot, showing the instincts and quickness to mirror when the receiver has a two-way go. Anthony has good instincts and awareness when playing off, showing good route recognition and anticipation when breaking on the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Rght now he’s only capable of playing in trail position, and even then he’d likely be draw a lot of flags.
  • Tends to play conservatively and give too much cushion when playing off.
  • Anthony plays high and tends to struggle with change of direction, and Anthony also shows some stiffness when he has to flip his hips.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
