Rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport is going the typical rookie growing pains early on. The first-round pick from Texas-San Antonio beat Terron Armstead for one sack during team drills but otherwise struggled to make much of an impact. During one-on-one passing drills, Armstead actually lost his footing and was buried into the turf by Jermon Bushrod. "It's frustrating, but it's just like my freshman year of college," he said. "I've got to learn again and I'm trying to pick it up fast so I'm kind of, how do I say, double down and get better in a hurry." The Saints coaching staff challenged Davenport to get stronger in the offseason, and he responded by increasing his lower body strength.
