Steven M. Sipple: Dewitt makes strong case why early-riser Davis could be late bloomer

You tend to learn more and more details about people when their time has come.

It's who Davis hasn't been that has largely defined his career at Nebraska. That sounds harsh. But, as they say, stats don't lie. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound outside linebacker has only 24 tackles in college, and only 1 1/2 sacks. Although he played in all 12 games last season and had four starts, he managed only five tackles, including just one in the final four games.

That's simply too much silence from a position that's critical to the success of most any 3-4 system.
