Davis finished last season with the Jets and will now have a chance to make Aaron Glenn’s 53-man roster this upcoming season. A former first-round pick from the 2021 draft, Davis is one of several busts from the infamous Ron Rivera era in Washington. Davis is anything but a lock to make the Jets’ roster this offseason.

He’ll take Ivan Pace Jr.'s spot on the roster. Davis had signed with the Green Bay practice squad about four weeks ago, and he now becomes a reclamation project for Brian Flores. The first-round pedigree certainly points to the tools being able to work in the NFL, and Flores will try to get more out of him than the Commanders did for four seasons.

A linebacker for his first three seasons, the Commanders new regime threw him at EDGE and gave him 86 snaps in five games. Davis did not record a sack. He also was cited twice for reckless driving. Still just 25, Davis is a potential reclamation project.

As Standig points out, this has “been headed this way for on (and seemingly of) field reasons.” In addition to underwhelming on the field, Davis has also been cited twice for reckless driving and recently avoided jail time for his most recent offense. Davis was a first-round pick of former head coach Ron Rivera in 2021 and has totaled 269 tackles and seven sacks for his career. He’s an athletic linebacker who was widely viewed as more of a Day 2 pick and, to date, has done little to live up to his first-round selection. Now under a new regime and coaching staff, Davis will need to prove he’s turned the corner this season if he hopes to sign a lucrative deal next offseason.
