Fred Davis Signs with Rosenhaus

[The Goat]

Does this in any way indicate the who's-who believe Davis is primed for a breakout sophomore season? The only things I've heard about him since the draft, on the positive side, is that he is a physical freak and blocks surprisingly well.

Until Davis does something on the field this means nothing, but he's doing the right thing when it's time to get a new deal he has the right agent.

If Davis does become a stud in 2009, that could benefit us greatly beyond just this year. It would mean either:

a) for years to come we are very deep with quality tight ends, or
b) either Davis or Cooley becomes trade bait to land a very good player

I saw an interview with one of the strength and conditioning coaches and he said Davis did one of the most amazing things he's ever seen. The players do sets of pushing the sleds 25 yards. On his LAST set, after just doing his other sets, he told the coach to stand on the sled and he proceeded to push the coach and the sled 25 yards. Most players are worn out by the last set. He actually ADDED weight on his last set. A physical freak is EXACTLY what he is. He's a stud and I think he'll show it on the field this year.

Cool story. Unfortunately being a physical specimen doesn't necessarily equate to being a good football player. Hopefully he'll be both.

I would totally sign with Rosenhaus too. He's is cutthroat but fair IMO. If Davis turns out to be any good (no reason to suspect otherwise) he'll get what he deserves from the Skins. My man Cooley is still top dog so there's no need to fuss if he opts to go elsewhere in a few years.
