Corey Davis’ presence provides the Jets some NFL draft breathing room

It’s been almost four years since Western Michigan product Corey Davis heard his name called fifth overall at the 2017 NFL draft in Philadelphia. During his time in college, scouts saw the wide receiver as arguably the best at his position in the nation, with a limitless ceiling.

Fast forward to March 2021 and the 26-year-old is coming off his first eye-popping season in the NFL. After signing a three-year, $37.5 million deal ($27 million guaranteed) with the New York Jets, Davis is ready to begin the next chapter of his playing career.

His first few seasons have been underwhelming, but Jets fans are optimistic a change of scenery can shape him into the true number one receiving threat he was drafted to be.
