New York Giants: Davis Webb passed his first big test

Davis Webb is used to scrutiny. The son of a coach, football has helped the quarterback Webb make a name for himself, but he’s had obstacles to deal with every step of the way.

Webb’s talent of throwing the football has drawn the attention of some of the most illustrious football institutions in the nation. A district champion in high school, the Prosper, TX native went on to the famed Texas Tech University, beating out future Heisman winner and top overall NFL draft pick Baker Mayfield for the right to throw for 400 yards a game, despite battling a nasty illness that cost him 40 pounds before his freshman year.
