Daily News | Eagles’ Jordan Davis ready to reach lofty expectations in Year 2
After the Eagles reached the Super Bowl during his rookie year, defensive tackle Jordan Davis approached this offseason with what he labeled as a “fresh mindset.”
It was a unique rookie campaign for Davis, who mainly filled in behind starters Javon Hargrave and Fletcher Cox. Davis appeared to be gaining momentum until a midseason ankle injury landed him on injured reserve. While he was sidelined, the Eagles signed veterans Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh in an effort to beef up the interior.The Eagles re-signed Cox to a one-year deal, but Hargrave, Joseph, and Suh are all gone, paving the way for Davis to take on a larger role in Year 2.
“I understand that you’re asking a lot more of me and that’s OK, that’s what I’m here for. I’m lucky that I had that experience behind those guys to see what it took. But just try to take those lessons that they gave me and not let it go to waste. With Davis looking to make his mark, he’ll have a handful of familiar faces working together with him. The Eagles recently drafted three of his former teammates from the University of Georgia: first-round pick and defensive tackle Jalen Carter, first-round pick and linebacker Nolan Smith, and fourth-round pick and defensive back Kelee Ringo.
