Linebacker Alex Anzalone admits to experiencing a level of disappointment on a lost rookie season.
After a promising start to the 2017 regular season, the New Orleans Saints' third-round pick (76th overall) landed on injured reserve after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 4.
"Any injury you have, whether it's a week or however long mine was, it's very frustrating, especially to sit out something you love doing," Anzalone said Tuesday. "There could be worse situations, but it was definitely frustrating."
The 6-foot-3, 241-pound Anzalone, who underwent surgery shortly after the injury, declined to say if he will be ready for organized team activities (OTAs).
