“In the season opener of 2021, Davis in his first NFL game is shown on film to begin to move out of position when the other linebackers Cole Holcomb and Landon Collins remained in their gaps.

The second example is a running play by the Philadelphia Eagles. Davis takes on the center block of Jason Kelce. Davis uses his arm length well, but is high on his toes, losing leverage. Yet he creates space, uses his vision and gets in on the tackle after a short gain.

Santana Moss points out on the third play, that Davis was maturing during the season, having learned from some of his mistakes earlier in the season.

Paulsen, in the fourth play, points out Davis’ 4.48 speed at 240 pounds, in pursuing an Atlanta Falcons wide running play to the sideline. Davis displays a burst outside and into the backfield making the tackle for loss on the play. Paulsen then says he doesn’t believe five other linebackers in the league have the speed to make that same play.

On the review’s last play, Davis is seen exploding toward the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes rolling to his left. Both Moss and Paulsen declare on the play, “Speed kills.”  Paulsen then projects to this season stating, “There is tremendous upside with this guy and that gets me super-excited.”

Let's just hope they put him in a position to succeed and he takes that confidence in him and does well.

Yes, they’re supposed to be putting him on the weak side which will take advantage of his strengths. I’ll hope for the best but expect the worst like I usually do w/ DC sports! 😂

Davis is going to be a really good player when he trusts his instincts. He got caught thinking and watching instead of reading and reacting. I think he was trying to be something instead of just playing. This guy had a tremendous season at Kentucky before we drafted him. It took him a minute to get his game right there he will get it. And when he does he and Holcomb will be a hell of a duo. Loved his tape. His traits flashed and honestly when he’s on there aren’t a lot of guys who can make plays he physically can. Every year perception changes. If this whole defense actually play together and attack the football then we can have something special not only in Davis but as a defense.
