Davis, who is 6&#8217;1&#8243; and 227lbs, had his best year in 2018 with 100 tackles and 6 sacks.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thedraftnetwork.com\/articles\/detroit-lions-bust-jarrad-davis\">Draft Network<\/a><\/strong> provides a glimpse into what went wrong for Davis with the Lions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Davis\u2019 failure to become an answer for the defense is not a matter of work ethic, passion or football character. He is an elite competitor that is renowned for the way he prepares. Unfortunately, his level of play has been poor.<\/p>\n<p>While the case could be made that Davis was drafted for a different scheme, as he was picked when Teryl Austin was the defensive coordinator under then-head coach Jim Caldwell, Davis underperformed and struggled to translate equally to Matt Patricia\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n<p>The mental side of the game has been tough for Davis. He\u00a0frequently\u00a0blows coverage assignments and moves out of run fits because of misreads. While he is a terrific athlete, Davis doesn\u2019t play with enough control to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a bright spot to Davis\u2019 tenure so far in Detroit, it has been his ability to find success as a blitzer. In three seasons, Davis has 10 sacks and 19 quarterback hits. His speed and urgency show up when given the opportunity to shoot a gap and chase down the quarterback.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can read more about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.jetnation.com\/topic\/158856-jets-to-sign-lb-jarrad-davis\/\">Jarrad Davis<\/a><\/strong> to the Jets in our forums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The legal tampering period is here and there are multiple reports saying the Jets have reached their first agreement.
