Apparently he has been impressive so far following his injury.

If he stays healthy he could be our best LB this year. Pretty good sign that even though he was injured he stuck around, watched film, stayed in the meetings and stayed hungry for knowledge from the vets

Ireland and Payton love the kid. He was the first rookie they identified as a starter in camp. He was running with the 1s very early on.

If he can stay healthy, he could be a great player for the Saints.

Agreed. He played great last year.

Excited with the starters we have in place on D and FA and draft signings.

2 more painful months before preseason.

I hate when people misspell Analzone as Anzalone.

I thought he looked good last year when he was playing. Health was the only glaring issue

He looked great last year when playing, but second labral surgery on shoulder isn't very promising.

Obviously the key is him staying healthy which is a big question mark but to me there's no doubt he has great upside and can really help this defense. He moved well in pass coverage and was very good sideline to sideline in run support which is something we have sorely missed for a while. This defense is much better if he can stay healthy and imo will definitely help make Davis transition to our defense easier since he won't have to be that guy in coverage at the LB spot

He is when he is on the field. He wasn't on the field too much for Florida and didn't make through half of his 1st NFL season. He is what we need in an OLB though when healthy.

He was out for the year just doing a diving leg sweep on a player.

If they fix that recurring injury, a big if I suppose, then he will be a nice full time starter.

But but is the question we all wait on.
