Way back when the Giants first stepped onto the field in the spring, Tae Davis lined up as one of the starting inside linebackers. The second-year player had made four starts in the second half of last season, but they were fairly unremarkable and it felt as if he was just holding the spot for the time being. The Giants, it seemed, were waiting for someone better to come along to play there.
