The day the Eagles reported to the NovaCare Complex gave him that answer. "He came back. He knew what to expect," Cox said. "I watched him run the conditioning test. He did a great job. I don't think he was ga sed one bit. Flew around in individual drills. Flew around in practice. I'm looking forward toward seeing him continue to grow in his conditioning. He took care of himself. It was great."Davis had an interesting rookie year with Sergei Fedorov Kids Jersey the Eagles, filled with optimism for what was to come followed by the proverbial rookie wall. He went from starting five consecutive games and playing 30 to 40 percent of the snaps to returning from injury and barely playing. The Eagles signedandwhen Davis was out to improve the run defense, and the veterans took up a significant amount of playing time.The snap count percentage decreased to 10 to 25 percent when Davis returned to the field, part of a defensive tackle rotation with Suh, Joseph, Cox, and. Davis did play over 30 percent of the snaps in two postseason games, but the Eagles were up big in the second half in both those contests. He played just 10 defensive snaps in LVII.

"It's really good to see. You know, he's healthy. Last year he was starting to ramp up and he got hurt. As a rookie, I think that kind of affected him. He was out for an amount of time and got back into the groove of things."Now, he's healthy and he's flying around. You can feel his presence."While Davis has looked leaner and ready for the rigors in the in year two, his former Georgia teammate left a strong first impre sion on day one of practice.

Him and Jordan Davis with Fletcher."Let the big guys teach them and let the young guys feast."Carter made a strong first impre sion on as well, yet Brett Hull Kids Jersey Kelce has been around this league long enough to not overhype himself over one hour of practice. That goes for both of the Georgia defensive tackles."You kind of felt him making a drastic inside move. We're talking about him," Kelce said. "I learned not to take first impre sions as the end all, be all. "The way he's moving around, he's strong. Him and Jordan Davis are a good matchup for me. I'll be interested to look at the tape and see what it looks like. The mark of this league is consistency." is already looking towards the future with the Georgia standouts on the defensive line (Davis, Carter, and ). Already a leader in the locker room, Graham couldn't contain his excitement for what's to come with the young blood that will soon anchor the defensive front."I told them, I just wanna see them win," Graham said. "We all know what it feel like to be up there. I want to take them to the next level. It's their time now. Them boys are gonna eventually take over." That time may be now for both Davis and Carter.
