NDIANAPOLIS – Mike Davis has a pretty good sense of humor.

He told reporters Thursday at the NFL Combine that he admires the play of Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.

When asked if he's ever spoken with Lynch, he answered with a simple, "No." Then he added, "Have you guys been able to talk to him?"

He's a great player. I like the way he runs. That anger style," said Davis, who decided to forgo his senior year at University of South Carolina to enter the draft.

Davis battled some minor injuries last year, but is fully healthy now and said he will do all of the drills at the Combine. His production dipped last year from 1,183 yards as a sophomore to 927 on 17 fewer carries. But his decision to enter the draft early had nothing to do with yards; it had to do with dollars and the opportunity to help his mother. She had received an eviction notice and Davis was able to get her into a new house.

"I know a lot of people weren't happy about it, but they didn't know the reason I came out," Davis said. "I think a lot of people will respect that once they know."

I didn't know that about his mom. I wasn't upset that he left, it was his choice to make, but that makes total sense.
