Davon Godchaux doing quite well for himself. One of the lesser talked about former tigers is carving out a good career. "Patriots’ DT Davon Godchaux has signed a two-year, $20.8 million extension with New England that includes $17.85 million fully guaranteed at signing, per
Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha who negotiated the deal."

Davon saved the season for our defense when we had no depth.
He was exceptional, which made our defense strong up the middle.

Good call!

“Quite well” is an understatement….he just made a few generations of his offspring wealthy as well!

He played damn near every snap that season. We had 000 depth, and I almost felt bad for him in games. Gutsy player and always played at a high level. That's some serious earnings, good for him

And he's probably made a few million the last 5 years. Good for him and his family and friends in Plaquemines.

Tough upbringing, right? Awesome to hear.
ETA:
Not sure why this got downvoted, but he did have a very tough upbringing. I looked it up again. It's a true success story for him after a tough childhood.

He's also now dating Sterling Shepard's baby momma. Chanel Imam:

PLAQUEMINE — They threatened Davon Godchaux’s life.
“We will kill you,” they told him.
They already shot up his home. At least 10 bullets shattered the front window, tore through the living-room couch and gashed the fridge.
Davon’s twin brother, Devin — the alleged target in this retaliatory drive-by shooting — heard the gunshots rip through the home as he showered. Davon’s mother was in the hospital, battling an ulcer. Davon was at summer basketball practice.
“Thank God he was,” said Toby Willis, one of Davon’s assistant football coaches at Plaquemine High School.
Davon arrived later that day to find caution tape encircling his tattered home, police officers on the front lawn and half of the neighborhood in the street. The threats from his brothers’ enemies came later.
“Coach, they told me they’d kill me,” Davon told Warren Bates, a father figure to him.
Bates said Davon was told the reason they wanted to kill him was because he was “the only one that’s good for something.”
“They knew he was going to go play big-time football,” Bates said. “He broke down in tears when he told me that.”
quote:
“No silver spoon for me,” Davon said. “Growing up, it was rough.”
Davon’s twin brother and their oldest brother have been in and out of prison. His twin, Devin, is currently behind bars for charges that include aggravated assault with a firearm and battery of a corrections officer and a police officer.
Davon’s father was in prison when he was born, his mother, Albertha, said. The two split years ago, ending what Albertha described as a physically abusive relationship.
Albertha has a bevy of health issues and has been on disability for years. Her legs are marked with rashes. She uses a cane to get around and has undergone multiple stomach surgeries.
During his junior year of high school, Davon spent time as a nomad after the family was evicted from its shot-up home, Albertha said. He spent several weeks hopping around different homes in the city. Albertha said she still has trouble paying bills and recently had to call on Davon to help pay a $292 power note.

Congrats to another great Tiger! Happy for Davon

Getting that kind of money for a DT in New England means you’re good AF. That’s awesome.

Was playing as a freshman weighing probably 280 soaking wet in a tough SEC. He galvanized and helped turn around that defense with Kwon, Hunter, Debo, Riley, White, etc

Yep, That was when Miles had only two defensive tackles who could play - a true freshman and a true sophomore - Gochaux and LaCouture

Plaquemine. There is no "s" on the name of the city...just the parish.

Belicheck called him one of the best DLinemen in the league before practice today
And what’s funny is there’s a common casual Pats fan take that he was terrible and should be cut it’s really hard to gauge an IDL’s impact from a fans POV unless you really know what to look at.

I guess he’s getting the last laugh since he’s a way better NFL player than that POS Dillon Day from Mississippi State who stomped on him in 2014.

I was sad when I heard that he was leaving Miami but we cannot complain about Zach Sieler, that dude is producing
