What the Detroit Lions new linebackers mean for Jarrad Davis

The Detroit Lions have had a lot of polarizing first round, with more than a few of them leaving the team after a few years, never reaching their lofty expectations, and more often than not both. Middle linebacker Jarrad Davis will always be synonymous with the Bob Quinn regime because he was one of Quinn’s first non-lineman early round pick for the Lions.

While Davis has proven to be one of the most athletic linebackers in the league and would make a great WWE wrestler based on his tackling technique, Davis’ lackluster decision making and inability to cover speedy ball carriers in pass coverage have given him a sub-par grade on Pro Football Focus.
