WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — Parys Haralson knows what great middle linebackers look like.
He was in San Francisco when the 49ers drafted both Patrick Willis and Navorro Bowman. Curtis Lofton roamed the middle of the Saints defense the past two years.
Now, Haralson finds himself looking at another middle linebacker, a first-round pick who hit the ground running as soon as he landed in New Orleans, and Haralson can’t help but see the same things in Stephone Anthony.
“The guys I’ve played with, it’s like they all take the same steps,” Haralson said.
