The New Orleans Saints have selected Clemson linebacker Stephone Anthony with the 31st pick in the NFL Draft.

Anthony was a first-team All-ACC and Butkus Award semifinalist in 2014, his senior season.

Anthony had a stellar 4.56 40 time at the combine and should help bolster a weakness for the Saints defense.

Earlier in the night, the Saints selected offensive tackle Andrus Peat with the No. 13 pick in the draft.
