The New Orleans Saints have only seen glimpses of their first-round pick in action so far.
A pulled groin sidelined Marcus Davenport for weeks, limiting the rookie's full-speed, full-pads exposure to just a few days at the beginning of training camp.
Davenport is close to full strength now, and the rest of the Saints are eager to see what they might be able to get out of the player New Orleans traded two first-round picks to move up to No. 14 and take at the end of April.
"You don't have to encourage anyone when he is on the sideline seeing his brotherhood working, and he's a step behind," defensive end Cameron Jordan said. "When I say a step behind, I mean he's on the sidelines looking, and he's not in the line of fire. You see he wants to get out there. He's trying to push his reps where his body will let him."
