I remember how the aints hyped that dude up like he was the next Luke lmaoooooo bust bust bust saints 4 life 

I think there was some excitement, because of his athletic ability, but nobody ever compared him to Luke. He got some praise his rookie year for a bunch of tackles but I thought he was pretty terrible. Wanted Kendricks to begin with.

Not dumping off. He's buried on the depth chart and has been a huge bust. 

Trading him is the good news. The bad news was overdrafting to begin with. Should have had Kendricks. Anthony just isn't smart, no matter how athletic he may be.

Seemed like he was at least decent his first year. Over 110 tackles and was named to the all-rookie team. Then he was moved to outside linebacker, a position he had never played before, and it didn't work.

Seems like a bad personnel move on your team's part more than a bad draft pick.

A bunch of tackles on a terrible defense. He struggled with his pre-snap reads and getting the defense aligned properly. Moving him to the outside allowed him to bypass all of that. I'm not entirely sure what went wrong, but he really, really struggled in zone coverage his rookie year, which is why they didn't play him at weakside.
