Memphis’ steady secondary veteran with local-tough DNA
Darius Davis brings a sturdy 6-1, 200-pound frame, hometown pride, and veteran know-how to the Memphis secondary, where his calling card has been consistency and physical tackling rather than flash. In his most productive season on record with the Tigers, he posted 54 tackles in 2009, and his career totals show a player trusted to be around the ball and finish plays. What makes him appealing is the local-player edge: disciplined, durable, and battle-tested, with the kind of intensity coaches love when they need a dependable DB who won’t flinch in traffic.
