Arkansas FB fans: RB Knile Davis...what's up wit dis dude?

Uhhh... He got drafted...

After his injury he played like a 5'9, 170 pound scat back that went down on first contact all the time and couldnt hold onto the football.

Arkansas athletes make their news on the field, so naturally the offseason is a low point.

You may be thinking of any one of several other universities in this conference

I can't post on the arky board, just asking the history of the player....his measurables and highlight tape look impressive, yet I see no buzz, and the write up was :

We went back to check Davis' 2010 tape and were thoroughly unimpressed. Davis is a straight-ahead plodder with zero lateral movement and clumsy feet. He lacks quick-twitch athleticism and has the power of a scatback. He's like a softer, less ball-secure Jackie Battle. Overdrafted based on straight-line forty time (4.37), Davis is quite likely to disappoint in the pros. He'll compete with Shaun Draughn for carries behind Jamaal Charles.

I checked the tape and saw the opposite

The rap on Knile out of HS was he was injury prone. Had 2 pretty serious injuries and I think he might have missed a good chunk of his Jr/Sr years.


Petrino gave him a shot. He's a physical phenom, and super super super nice good kid. I can't tell you how many pics of him with my friend's kids I've seen on facebook over the years. He's a demon in the weight room and attacks rehab like a monster. He's been hurt a lot and hitting the weight and rehabbing is all he could do.

The dipshit lame duck coaches namely JLS, and Tim Horton kept him out of contact for a year and a half and of course he had problems holding onto the ball when he came back because EVERYONE was ripping at it.

He's got speed, can get in space, and the jury is out if he can run in the middle in the NFL w/o getting hurt or coughing the ball up on the first hit.

I can't explain enough about how he's one of those high character guys and he knows he f'd up by not sticking around and playing for 2Beez, but he couldn't risk another major injury. I think he'll surprise a lot of people and last in the NFL for awhile, a lot of it will be due to his athleticism and he'll be a locker room and fan favorite if he has any bit of on the field success.

Reid likes him and Charles will need a break from time to time so I see him getting some playing time as a back up this year.

thanks yall, that's exactly what I was looking for. Will be rooting for him.

All I've ever heard about him, both on & off the field, is what a hard-working, really good person he is. I share in the sentiments above.

Because he started running scared.

Seems like a great person though at least from what I've read.

Freak athlete, but a nasty injury history and some fumble troubles. If he stays healthy Kansas City will have a badass pair of RBs.
