I would like to congratulate Kniles Davis on his new contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s assumed he’ll compete for their starting kick returner and backup running back jobs. He had those jobs with the Kansas City Chiefs, so how does his loss affect them?
In the running game the loss of Davis means nothing. He had already been pushed back to fourth string running back. Spencer Ware, Charcandrick West and Tyreek Hill were all options ahead of Davis. This was with good reason as Davis isn’t a good NFL back. He isn’t strong enough to make a hole if there isn’t one. If a hole is there to the side he can’t move laterally well enough to make it to the hole. He has straight ahead speed that…
