The Browns have re-signed defensive lineman Carl Davis, the team announced. Davis appeared in just five games for Cleveland last year and recorded one assisted tackle.
Davis has generally disappointed in his brief NFL career. The Ravens drafted him out of Iowa in the third round of the 2015 draft, which seemed like a steal at the time. He performed reasonably well in his rookie campaign but missed all of the 2016 season with an ankle injury. In 2017, he started nine games for Baltimore, but he did not show enough to prevent the Ravens from waiving him during final roster cuts last season.
Still, four teams submitted a waiver claim on him, and he was awarded to the Browns, who had No. 1 waiver priority. He could not crack Cleveland’s D-line rotation, but his draft pedigree and raw ability have earned him another shot with the club.
Never heard of him.
