Selected in the fifth round last year out of South Dakota State, Davis' rookie year was mostly quiet but finished strong. At 6-feet, 218 pounds Davis is almost exactly average as an athlete (4.57-second 40), yet he's much faster than fellow Jet and 2024 draft pick Braelon Allen, who began last season as the Jets' designated RB2 behind Breece Hall. Davis played just five snaps on offense going into the Jets' Week 12 bye, so for Davis to play 94 snaps in the last six games marked significant ground gained. Indeed, when Hall sat out Week 14 against Miami the Jets almost evenly split the snap count between Allen (35) and Davis (33). Davis has three-down ability and even flashed some pass-catching ability as a rookie, so there's no obvious reason why he can't be a starter in the NFL. Davis runs with real power and should endear himself to new coach Aaron Glenn, who wants to oversee a robust, physical run game as the foundation of the Jets offense. Davis is someone to keep a close eye on in what could be a wide-open competition for snaps between Hall, Allen and Davis, though Hall remains the heavy favorite to lead the Jets backfield in 2025.
