Inside his music Vol. 5: Why Jarrad Davis listens to a Phil Collins song before games

NEW ORLEANS -- It started in high school, not through Jarrad Davis' headphones, but over the public address system in the stadium. Among the music he’d hear every week was some by Phil Collins.

And it stuck.

Throughout college and now as a Detroit Lions rookie linebacker in the NFL, the only song Davis has to --has to -- hear before games is “In the Air Tonight,” the 1981 Collins classic that has been played in stadiums across the country.

Davis explains in the latest Inside His Music why he must listen to that song and what it means for him, from a football sense.
