Here is Davenport in 2016 against Texas A & M, ranked #20 in the country at the time.Mikefive wrote:Two words jumped out at me when I watched that video. Texas State. Yes, he was a "wrecking ball".

Ok, so I watched a couple complete games.
Guys a wrecking ball..I mean..WRECKING BALL.
He plays a little wild at times and definitely stays a little too upright, but man he's strong and hard to block one on one.
He's a bit of a project, I just don't know if I could take him at 8
Great discipline showed on a reverse...
REVERSE
Powerful punch incapacitates the RT, then gets a hit on the QB...
PUNCH
Really nice job of shedding the block to catch the RB...
SHED
Drives the TE right into the running lane...

Great catch up speed to tackle the QB, saves a big gain...
CLOSING SPEED
Manhandles the OT and gets the sack...

Tackled by the OT, drawing a holding penalty..
HOLDING
Also used in coverage for 7 snaps...
COVERAGE
Texas A & M starts double teaming him after halftime...
DOUBLE TEAM
3rd down and 11, and most edge rushers are going to sell out to get to the QB. Instead, Davenport reads this play perfectly. Great maturity...
READ
Puts an incredible move on the blocker, causing him to whiff completely. Then he sheds another block on his way to the RB...
FAKE
Makes the RT his bitch on this play, driving him back 5 yards...
BULL RUSH
Run away from Davenport, but he still catches the RB from the backside...
BACKSIDE
