The New Orleans Saints signed its first- and third-round picks in the 2015 NFL Draft — linebacker Stephone Anthony and cornerback P.J. Williams — to four-year contracts on Tuesday.

Anthony was the 31st overall pick out of Clemson, where he played in 52 games and started 35, finishing his career with 330 tackles and 9 1/2 sacks.

In 2014, Anthony was named first-team All-ACC after leading the Tigers with 90 tackles. He also was the team’s top tackler in 2013 with 131 stops.

Williams, a Thorpe Award semifinalist in 2014, had 123 career tackles (82 solo) and four interceptions for Florida State. He was selected to the All-ACC first team as a junior last year.
