PISCATAWAY -- You get the sense that Darnell Davis could go on forever listing all the people he wants to thank for setting him up to do big things in life.
Davis took a winding path to Rutgers that included a chance meeting with former head coach Doug Graber. Now he is a starting redshirt junior defensive end with 17 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery entering Saturday's game at Minnesota.
I caught up with Davis to talk about his expanded on-field role, his relationship with a famous orthopedic surgeon and why attending boarding school changed his perspective.
