Looking forward to the future by evaluating the development of LB Jamin Davis
When Jamin Davis was drafted, the Commanders likely envisioned him developing into this ultra-athletic linebacker that could matchup with athletic tight ends and running backs in coverage, and roam freely behind four first-round defensive lineman in the run game. However, in his rookie year he struggled as he was asked to play the Mike (middle) linebacker role which involves making all the calls and checks at the line of scrimmage. This caused Davis to slow down and think at the snap instead of just reacting and playing fast.
