Get To Know Combine Athlete Will Davis

In his own words with DE Will Davis from the University of Illinois. Will is working out in the D1 Combine Class. "My favorite NFL team growing up was the Dallas Cowboys. I’m the best player in the whole draft because I can’t be stopped. My least favorite college football team has to be Northwestern. A player that I would least like to go against is no one. I want to compete against anybody out there. I would love to go against anybody. A team should draft me because I’m unstoppable, I have great character, great work ethic, I’m a great teammate, I love the game, and even more, I love the competition. My favorite thing about Nashville has to be D1 and Nashville has some real nice people here."
