And yet Danny Shelton had the better college career while facing more double team blocks than Jordan Davis. If the guy is such a stud why does his college play not show it?
Davis was on a team with the talent to win a National Championship. Shelton's team went 4-5 in the PAC-12 his senior year.
When your team is overflowing with NFL talent, there are only so many plays to go around.
They were used in different ways.
Trust me, I am/was hesitant to get on board as well after how Shelton's time here played out. But, I'm coming around.
A pocket collapsing DT could take our D to the next level. The best way to disrupt a quick timing based passing offense is to toss an O Lineman in the QB's face and get him off his mark.
His ability to occupy blockers could also help free up LBs.
I have some concerns about the number of snaps he can handle, but it seems some of his lack of snaps is just based on the style of D and offensive pace of current collegiate offenses combined with Georgia's depth.
I think I'm hoping for Jermaine Johnson now, but it's looking like he might not make it to 13. I'm not entirely sold on Davis, but the idea of what he could be is rather appealing.
