Davis had interest from a lot of programs including LSU but the one that was on the top of his list was Auburn. So while Clemson, Kentucky, and Florida State were extending offers and trying to set up visits Davis was hoping that head coach Gus Malzahn would pick up the phone and call him. Malzahn did just that and Davis didn’t waste any time and committed to Auburn. Davis ended his Auburn career on a high note reaching several milestones statistically (over 100 tackles in a season and over 10 tackles for loss) and making a case the he belongs in the conversation with this year’s top prospects at the position. Davis is instinctive and has a high football IQ. There is a running joke that he actually calls the plays and the defensive coordinator just gets paid for it. Well there is some truth to that Davis has called plays and was responsible for getting all the guys in the right place pre snap. His teammates and coaches characterize him as a hard worker and great leader who has the potential to run a defense at the next level.StrengthsGood size, physicality, strength https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-terry-mclaurin-jersey , read and react ability and instincts for the position. Davis stands out on film because of his ability to diagnose a play and work downhill towards the ball carrier to make a stop. He is full speed ahead and bangs and disrupts to get to the ball. He isn’t one of the top tier athletes at the position but he is going to run in the 4.6’s which is good enough to land him around the 75th percentile according to mockdraftable. He has enough quickness and speed to seal off rushing lanes and get into the backfield and also can make QBs uncomfortable.He is a prolific, consistent, and reliable tackler. Once he gets his hands on the opposing player they go down. He used good technique to wrap up and has some legit power to his hits. Praised for his cerebral abilities on the field and overall football IQ. Was given responsibilities at Auburn that didn’t just extend to himself but to the entire defense. Praised for his work ethic and leadership ability.WeaknessesDoesn’t have that top tier speed, flexibility or agility we see with some other prospects at the position. While he isn’t slow his change of direction skills are noticeably labored and stiff at times.Dropped into coverage a good amount at Auburn and doesn’t excel in this area. Sure he can stick with a few tight ends but his technique and fluidity are going to make you want him play as close to the LOS as possible at the next level unless he can really make strides here.Needs to learn how to use his hands to get off blocks better. Like his counterpart Devin White he prefers the brute force method instead of the strategic one. He would be a much more effective player.Let’s see his work:More Deshaun Davis videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsFor anyone who has read my linebacker profiles for the past few years you might have noticed that I love guys like this. While lost of people prefer elite athletes at the position I think we can look at some of the best inside linebackers in the NFL and point out that most of then didn’t run sub 4.5s. I’ll take physicality, work ethic, instincts and read and react ability at the position any day of the week. That said I think Davis would be a nice compliment to Zach Brown or Reuben Foster as the TED in the 3-4 base. You still need strength and physicality at the position as a lot of times the TED helps clear the way for the more athletic MIKE. I think Davis could help the Redskins a lot on run defense and I would love to see him get a few opportunities to rush the passer as well. What I hope they don’t do is put him on Zack Ertz because that would be stupid. Davis needs to get better at his abilities in coverage but there are simply going to be some guys he can’t stick with, one of the best tight ends in the NFL is going to be one of them. I think Davis is a fringe day 1 starter for the Redskins who will have the luxury (perhaps) of learning for a year before he steps into a starting role. Former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart spent some time as the NFL’s primary spokesman Montez Sweat Jersey , and his tenure consisted of periodic conference calls during which questions would be asked and, in most cases, answers would be provided. (It was a very useful feature that, unfortunately, ended when Lockhart left.)Lockhart drew the ire of owners like Jerry Jones by antagonizing President Donald Trump, during the national anthem controversy. Lockhart is now chiming in, with disparaging views regarding both Trump and one of the men who previously paid Lockhart’s salary. comments about Washington owner Daniel Snyder. The President said he’ll attend a game Dwayne Haskins Jersey , adding this assessment of one of the least popular figures in the sport.“[A]ctually the owner is — he’s really a good guy,” President Trump said. “He’s been a supporter and he’s done a very good job. You have a good team.”(“Good” is extremely relative. Since Snyder bought the team 20 years ago, Washington has five playoff appearances and two postseason wins. Washington also is tied with Detroit for the longest NFC Championship game drought, dating back to 1991.)Lockhart responded to the news with this: “Can’t think of two people who deserve each other more.”It’s stunning to see such candor and hostility from a former high-level NFL executive, and it sheds more light on why things simply didn’t work out for Lockhart in one of the most important and public-facing jobs in the league office.
