Avid 'Rocket League' gamer Cody Davis wins match on Twitch livestream

Cody Davis: New England Patriots defensive back, father of three … and avid "Rocket League" competitor?

When he's not making tackles or blocking field goals, Cody can often be found blocking a different kind of goal in "Rocket League," a popular video game best described as soccer played with RC cars and a giant bouncy ball.

And he's not too shabby at it: His Platinum III Division II ranking puts him in the top 28 percent of players in the game's standard 3v3 mode, according to Tracker Network. In a recent best-of-five showmatch against The Dad editor-in-chief Joel Willis, Cody (or "S4LTINE," his gamer tag) chatted about his background in gaming and showed that a safety's quick hands can also keep up on a virtual pitch.
