First-round flip: Saints' Andrus Peat on rise, Stephone Anthony on bench

METAIRIE, La. -- Andrus Peat and Stephone Anthony have switched places.

Nobody would have seen this coming at the end of last season -- or at the end of this year's preseason, for that matter. But suddenly Peat has become the more successful of the New Orleans Saints' two first-round draft picks from 2015.

Peat is still a work in progress. But that progress has been heading in the right direction while he started the first two games at left guard and the next two games at left tackle.

Anthony, meanwhile, has been relegated to deep-backup duty after starting every game as a rookie middle linebacker last year and leading the Saints with 112 tackles.
