Marcus Davenport's size and athleticism make it easy to see why he was a top prospect in this year's NFL draft, but there's another aspect of his game that could make him a special player for the New Orleans Saints.
Before coaching Davenport at UTSA, Frank Wilson spent six years at LSU. He said Davenport's pass-rush skills reminded him of Barkevious Mingo while his run-stuffing ability reminded him of Tyson Jackson.
Because Davenport is a well-rounded defensive end, the non-LSU names Wilson mentioned as comparisons were Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney, two top edge prospects in recent years.
