Carlos Davis: Going Into Draft With Twin Brother Khalil ‘Really Helped’, Calls Draft Day Surreal

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers used the 194th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft to select Nebraska defensive lineman Khalil Davis. Just a short time later, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected his twin brother, Carlos Davis, in the seventh round with the 232nd pick, and their final selection.

Both of them had a small role to play for their teams as rookies, averaging about 40 defensive snaps for the season between them, but it is significant that, as late-round picks during a year with hardly any in-person offseason and no preseason, they even made their teams and lasted all year, let alone grew as the season went along.
