NFL teams will, as the saying goes, search under every rock to find good offensive linemen. Especially those who can protect the blind side of their most valuable asset, the franchise quarterback.
So it is that NFL teams, including the New York Giants, have had scouts spending an extraordinary amount of time studying a player from a school that has not had a player drafted by the NFL since 1969.
The school? Bucknell University. The player? Julie’n Davenport, a three-time Patriot League first-team left tackle for the Bison, who play at the FBS level.
