Davis signed $78M extension; elite nose tackle changing position job description.

The source identifies Davis as an ascending stud knocking on the door of elite defensive tackle status. Although he recently received a lucrative contract extension (three years, $78 million, with $65 million guaranteed), Davis has become the unsung hero on a front that overwhelms opponents with its individual and collective talent. The 6-6, 336-pounder has quietly become the kind of premier nose tackle that every defensive coordinator covets in the middle of his defense. As a sneaky pass rusher with A+ run-stopping skills, Davis is the versatile NT who is changing the job description for the position at the NFL level.
