Former Colorado State linebacker Kevin Davis will get the opportunity to showcase his talents at the next level, signing a free-agent contract with the Los Angeles Rams.
As the team's leading tackler each of the past two seasons, Davis finished his CSU career with 257 tackles and 7.0 sacks and was part of eight career turnovers. As a senior in 2016, the All-Mountain West linebacker was one of three FBS players nationally with 100-plus tackles, 3.0-plus sacks and at least one interception, fumble recovery and forced fumble. The Fountain-Fort Carson, Colo., native was part of six turnovers, including four forced fumbles (14th in FBS). His 8.5 tackles-per-game average ranked eighth in the MW, led by 19 stops vs. Colorado - the most by a MW defender in 2016.
The Rams had nine former players on NFL rosters at the end of the 2016 season, including six Draft picks from 2014-16. One of those players is running back Kapri Bibbs, who was traded from Denver to San Francisco on Saturday. CSU is expected to have additional players sign free-agent contracts and receive tryout invitations over the coming days.
