Detroit Lions' Brad Holmes on re-signing Jarrad Davis: 'Everybody deserves second chances'

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Jarrad Davis' first go-round with the Detroit Lions was a disappointment by just about any measure.

Brad Holmes is confident Round 2 will go much better.

"I think everybody deserves second chances," Holmes, the Lions' second-year general manager, said Tuesday at the NFL's annual meeting. "We did see some things on tape that encouraged us to think that he’d be a good fit here."

The 20th overall pick of the 2017 draft, Davis had a rocky four seasons in Detroit before signing with the New York Jets in free agency last spring.
