Davis emerging as RB2 after preseason standout and practice reps.

Positioned as the primary backup to Javonte Williams after strong preseason performance (7 carries, 39 yards, team-high rushing yards) and Monday practice reps; has a pattern since joining the team in 2022 of capitalizing on opportunities when given the chance. Excels at running between the tackles with plus burst and decisiveness at the line of scrimmage to create on many carries.
