When Tae Davis was moved from safety to linebacker before his senior season at Tennessee-Chattanooga, he wasn’t sure it was a good idea.
“Even my freshman year, the coaches would tell me when it was all said and done I’d wind up as a linebacker,” Davis told The Post on Thursday. “I thought they were just messing with me. Then we had a coaching change, and those coaches said the same thing about how the game was changing and that me moving to linebacker would give me an opportunity to make it to the next level, so I did it.
