Jordan Davis: Eagles DT opens up about weight loss plan ahead of debut season

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis has been talking about the weight that he has lost this summer.

The Philadelphia Eagles were one of the busiest teams when it came to the 2022 NFL Draft, not only did they take care of their own business when it came to the first round, not only did they pick up Jordan Davis from the University of Georgia with the 13th overall pick, they also traded their rights to the #18 pick to grab A.J Brown from the Tennessee Titans. 

And whilst Brown might be getting most of the headlines as a wide receiver, there is every chance that Davis could end up becoming someone very important for the Eagles in the coming years.

The Eagles did pretty well in stopping the run last year, ranking joint 9th in the league giving up 1,834 yards, but with Hassan Ridgeway having departed for the San Francisco 49ers, the Eagles needed someone to plug the middle of the defensive line alongside Fletcher Cox.

Davis is a man who could fill pretty much any hole in any line if you asked him to with his tremendous stature, standing at 6’6 and weighing 340lbs when he took part in the NFL Combine back in March, something that leaves his fellow lineman in his shadows.

I knew Jordan Davis was a large man, but damn it he makes Fletcher Cox look normal sized
