I love how the guy hustles.
It was his first year on the edge so that's why his sacks numbers weren't crazy.

This past year he got 5 sacks in 5 games when play g on the edge.

Tell me if I'm crazy but Davenport doesn't seem to love football.

Even the way he celebrates is awkward.

The Saints have put a lot of emphasis on character in recent years after a 3-4 year span of knuckleheads in the locker room. Everything you read about this guy mentions he had great character. It also mentions consistent effort, which is something NO ONE can coach/teach. A guy either has desire or he doesn't.

In many ways he looks like Davenport 2.0. Physical freak that played at a lower level of CBB. Not overwhelming production, but the thought that he could develop into a monster. Davenport has had moments, but injuries have slowed him down. MAYBE this is the freak the Saints wanted in Davenport. If so, having a freak on one end and a good, but maybe not elite Davenport on the other is still pretty good in a league where pressure on the QB is still the best defense.
