Jordan Davis was quite possibly the scariest player in college football in 2021. He was arguably the top defensive player on the most dominant defense in college football.
At 6-foot-6 and 340 pounds, Davis controlled the middle with ease during his final Athens campaign.
The Philadelphia Eagles selected Davis No. 13 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft Thursday night, and looking ahead to the NFL, Davis’ prospects are really high.
Davis is one of the absolute safest draft picks for 2022, and he has all the tools to become a dominant NFL defensive tackle who controls the line of scrimmage.
What’s even more impressive about Davis, is that he ran a blazing 4.78 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. At 341 pounds, that’s not even human.
During 2021’s national title campaign, Davis racked up 32 tackles, including 5 tackles for a loss. He also won the Outland Trophy for college football’s top interior defensive lineman, according to the Football Writers of America.
During his 4 years at Georgia playing in 41 games, Davis made 90 tackles, including 11.5 for a loss and 7 sacks.
The Georgia defensive tackle has drawn comparisons to former NFL star Haloti Ngata.
The Charlotte, North Carolina, native was rated as a 3-star player exiting high school and ranked as the nation’s No. 29 overall defensive tackle and the state of North Carolina’s No. 15 overall prospect for the class of 2018, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
It’s easy to see why Davis was considered one of the best interior defensive linemen in years, according to his college highlights below.
