Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 78.93 (Reserve/backup)
Pro Comparison: Donovan Smith
Summary
Anthony Belton took the left tackle mantle over from Ickey Ekwonu for the Wolfpack the past three seasons and didn't disappoint. He allowed all of 12 pressures this past fall as the burly tackle proved difficult to get through. That's a rarity for an almost 350-pounder. Belton carries that weight with ease and delivers it often to opposing defenders. While he has some glaring issues on tape, he'll do damage in a gap scheme at the next level if those are cleaned up.
About
- Career: Three-year starter at left tackle
- 2023: Third-team All-ACC
Strengths
- Big-boy pop on contact. Easy power
- Easy mover out of his stance. May look like a guard, but pass sets like a tackle
- Can manipulate defenders out of gaps with upper body torque
- Engulfs defenders in pass pro. Will take them out of play entirely
Weaknesses
- Base creeps too wide and he can't react laterally
- Rarely get more than one shot from him in the run game. Ability to sustain is lacking
- Out over his skis into contact too often. Falls on face when he doesn't get a clean shot
Combine Data
- 40-yard dash: 5.26 seconds
- Vertical jump: 29-5 inches
- Broad jump: 8 feet, 11 inches
- 3-cone drill: 7.77 seconds

Packers' Anthony Belton: Heads to Green Bay
The Packers selected Belton in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 54th overall.
Belton is an older prospect (24 years old) with plenty of experience under his belt with 32 starts at left tackle for North Carolina State. He tested as a good athlete at the combine especially for his above-average size (6-foot-6, 336 pounds). Given how early he was selected, Belton has a chance to compete for the starting left tackle job as a rookie.
