Eagles News: Jordan Davis is making a big impact

NFL Rewind: Don’t test Fred Warner, Titans’ red-zone success, more from Week 5 - The Athletic
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis had a reputation even before he played a down in the NFL. Running a 4.78-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-6 and over 340 pounds will do that. Davis’ nose tackle position and play style will never lead to him filling up the box score, but his effectiveness in the run game can make his teammates’ jobs way easier. The Eagles’ linebackers can stay clean behind Davis, while teams that prefer to have undersized but athletic centers (much like Philadelphia with Davis’ teammate, Jason Kelce) will literally and figuratively have their hands full in going one-on-one with Davis.
