PLAYER ANALYSIS
Hard-hitting safety with man cover tools but potential limitations if asked to play on the back end. Anthony is high-cut but with good size and an aggressive field demeanor. He aligned as both a big nickel and a split safety. He's fairly comfortable handling man coverage duties over the slot and does a nice job of staying connected with routes and disrupting catch tries with timing. He's fast enough to play over the top from center field, but the instincts are average, and he can be clunky swiveling hips with the changing gaze of the quarterback. He needs to take more consistent angles and do a better job of wrapping up, but Anthony has the talent to become a versatile backup.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Players who have logged more than 1,000 snaps at three different positions are rare, but ironically, Gadlin might be targeted as a center, where he's only played 110 career snaps. He has an unimposing frame but can catch interior linemen off guard with his drive power. He plays with sound footwork and technique as a run blocker but is missing the body control to connect and stay connected against active fronts. He's an upper-body leaner in pass pro and could struggle to secure both A-gaps with slide quickness and reactive agility. Gadlin could compete for a roster spot, but his chances might be limited if teams see him as a center-only prospect.
