That's not entirely true. We knew he needed a year to gain weight. We also knew he was behind some serious talent at OLB. Therefore, his waiting made sense.It's not terribly unusual for a player to take a few years before he is ready for the show. We said the same thing about Christian Miller and oh the lamentations that we have had when we lost him this year.
With the injuries the defense has had this year, Davis should have played by now. He hasn't. That's why so many are curious.
