Point out his faults, though, and he’ll take every word to heart.Davis said that approach keeps him on his toes and prevents him from letting down his guard.
It’s also allowed him to go from an undrafted rookie free agent out of Bethune-Cookman to a third-year NFL veteran defensive lineman with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“Since I’ve been here … I’ve really been fighting for my place in the league,” Davis said after a recent workout.
A few minutes earlier, Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley called Davis an “intriguing” defender.
The 6-foot-2, 260-pound Davis cracked a smile when told of Bradley’s kind words, then quickly snapped back to form.
“That’s great to hear when your coach says something like that about you,” Davis said.“You appreciate that. But you have to let it go in one ear and out the other.”
