Carl Davis was talking with a group of media after Thursday’s preseason opener when a reporter asked if he knew how many snaps he’d just played.
“A lot,” the rookie defensive tackle said with a smile.
Fellow defensive lineman Brandon Williams then shouted from the next locker, “we call him rep-man.”
The nickname was well earned.
Davis hardly came off the field during the 30-27 victory. He started the game because a foot injury kept Timmy Jernigan sidelined, and then he played deep into the fourth quarter.
“He played a bunch of snaps, played them all hard,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said.
