Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier has admitted that he is disappointed with his rookie season.

The 22-year-old played nine times last season, but missed a large chunk of the campaign due to ankle and knee injuries.

He told the Beaver County Times: "This is definitely a chance to wipe the slate and start off healthy and get back on point.

"Last year, it was kind of a disappointment for me because I felt like I could have brought more to the team."

Shazier made 24 tackles last season.
