Jarrad Davis excited for return to Detroit with a new beginning: ‘It just feels right’

Jarrad Davis walked up to the podium on Friday evening with a familiar look in his eyes and his patented gap-toothed smile that never seems to wear off.

On Friday, the Detroit Lions signed Davis back to the team after their 2017 first-round pick spent a year with the New York Jets. Davis’ time in Detroit didn’t go over too well during the first four years of his career wearing Honolulu blue. After a promising start in his rookie season, Davis failed to develop his clear athletic abilities, and he was eventually reduced to a rotational role before the team decided not to re-sign him once his rookie deal concluded last offseason.
