Marcus Davenport looking to find greatness beyond violent pass rush

New Detroit Lions defensive end Marcus Davenport used one simple word when describing his pass rushing style.

“Violence.”

It doesn’t take long to look at his film and come to the same conclusion. At a massive 6-foot-6, 265 pounds, and with an impressive athletic build profile to boot, Davenport has made a living in the NFL bowling over offensive linemen in utterly comical fashion.

Davenport noted that even Lions general manager Brad Holmes brought up Davenport’s physical playstyle when talking about why he was brought to Detroit.
