02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Elite power rushers like Davidson are highly coveted by 4-3 attacking front defenses that prioritize gap integrity and relentless pass rush.

4-3 DE3-tech DTInside rusher
Best role

Year 1: Rotational interior defensive lineman with pass rushing upside. Ceiling: Starting 3-technique tackle who can dominate gaps.

Wrong fit

Two-gap 3-4 schemes that emphasize holding the point of attack over penetrating.

Davidson's size and ability to play multiple techniques make him a versatile piece for a penetrating defense.

04The evaluation

Selected #47 overall in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft by Atlanta Falcons out of Auburn.
