Former Syracuse outside linebacker Dyshawn Davis signed with the Washington Redskins after not being picked in the NFL Draft, he announced in an Instagram post.
Davis missed just one game for the Orange in 2014, finishing second on the team with a career-high 71 tackles. His career-high three forced fumbles and seven quarterback hurries led SU.
Davis was a three-year starter for Syracuse, but was not projected to be drafted, according to CBS Sports. He was ranked as the 538th overall player and 42nd outside linebacker in the draft as of late Thursday afternoon.
After SU’s Pro Day on April 7, Davis said he is willing to play strong safety in the NFL.
