Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians offered up some mighty high praise for Detroit Lions linebacker Jarrad Davis on Wednesday.

In a conference call with Detroit reporters, Arians was giving his general impression of the Lions’ 29th-ranked defense, calling “big, strong and physical.” Then Arians went a little further.

“They have one of the best middle linebackers in the business and one of the best corners in the business,” he said.
