James Davis Update

A little dated, but here it is anyway:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/236232-cleveland-browns-training-camp-what-weve-learned-so-far
2) Rookie running back James Davis has been the most pleasant surprise of camp.
Davis, the Browns’ final selection and last of the team’s three sixth-round selections in this year’s draft, has impressed coaches, the media, and fans alike with his quick feet, pass-catching ability, nose for the end zone, and special teams play.
The Clemson product was pegged as a second- or third-round pick had he left college after his junior year. But after deciding to return to school, Davis slipped down the draft boards this spring after a shoddy offensive line, subpar quarterback play, and a midseason head coaching change hindered his production as a senior last fall.
Possibly with a nod from starting running back Jamal Lewis, who grew up in the same Atlanta neighborhood as Davis and has trained with him during the offseason, the Browns took Davis most likely as an afterthought.
But Davis has done everything right in camp and has put himself in position to be Lewis’ primary backup and the team's featured running back of the future.

I'm really happy for JD. What a great player and rep. for our school. Hope he succeeds, we need more former players in NFL skill positions.

There were some Browns bloggers the past couple of days noting that James Davis was getting the majority of the carries in practices. The 2nd string RB, Harrison, is injured right now so Davis is picking up the slack.
I think we'll see him get 6-10 touches this Saturday agains the Lions. So, it'll probably be a good game for Clemson fans to watch to see how he's really doing.

He used to have bricks for hands. But, I still love him nonetheless.
