summary
summary
Vincent Anthony Jr. is a versatile interior defensive lineman with positional flexibility, strong length, and disruptive flashes across multiple fronts. At 6'4", 295 lbs, Anthony carries ideal frame density for interior alignment while maintaining enough athleticism to slide along the defensive front.
Developed within Duke’s aggressive defensive system, he has showcased the ability to penetrate gaps, compress pockets, and hold up versus single blocks. His game is built on leverage, effort, and alignment versatility more than elite twitch explosiveness.
Continued development as a consistent pass-rush finisher will define his NFL ceiling, but his size, motor, and scheme flexibility provide rotational interior projection.
