I make not seen or head much on Raekwon Davis this off season and at 6'7" and 312 hard to do. He is 25 and was a 2nd rounder in 2020. After a slow start for 5 games he came on, made a big difference to our D and made everyone around him better, Our run D really improved and he was disruptive in the pass rush as well as the run. Looked like maybe star potential.

Then, in the first quarter of opening day in 2021 he injured his knee. He was on IR for a few games but continued to play the year, never close to the year before.

Now, I understand he is healthy and looking to kick things up a notch. This would be great news as we really need him clogging up that middle at NT. He is a difference maker.
 
Getting hurt early last season really seemed to rob his rookie season momentum. Hopefully he’s completely healthy and stays that way. He’s

Definitely a force in the middle with out question. I just wish he had a little more wiggle/lateral agility!

He was never as healthy as we needed him to be after the first game. Yes, he played but was not as effective as a healthy RD in the middle.

That was certainly the case...but he still provided a solid uptick to the line's play once he was back in. If he can have that kind of impact while not playing standout ball, imagine if he comes back this year a full-go and looking to eat.

I'm hyped to see this defense this year.

He can be one of the major players that can help Miami's defense up another level if healthy and motivated.

His problem in college was not talent, the guy is a beast in the talent and physical specimen dept, it was motivation, so far he has not been the player in college that might take downs off.

Wilkins and Davis in the middle is a luxury not many teams have, they can force quite a bit of attention from the middle, allowing pass-rushers to have an easier time. Fingers crossed on Davis.

If Davis, Wilkins and Sieler can stay healthy all season long it will go a long ways toward making this a top 5-10 defense, especially with the speed at DE and LB to contain the edges and pressure throws into our ball hawking secondary. Aside from health my fingers are crossed there is no regression with Boyer setting the scheme and calling plays on his own without Flores (say what you will--and there is much to say about Flo's leadership and interpersonal style--but he was a strong defensive coach and for that reason alone I see the Steelers game as a bit of a trap for us).
 
His full time job should be to get quicker off the snap… body wise he should keep trying to change the ratio to achieve that physical quickness, the lateral ability is what it is, it’s always been his weakness..

Looks like he’s in real good physical condition
