Nate Davis

PRO: The Titans selected Nate Davis in the third round (82nd overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-3-inch, 316-pounder brings quick feet and physicality to the trenches of the offensive line. The Ashburn, Va., native started 42 games during his first three NFL seasons with an additional five playoff starts. The Titans finished in the NFL's top five in rushing in each of those three campaigns.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: 
• In 2020, Davis started all 16 games at right guard as part of an offense that tied for the second-overall ranking in the NFL (396.4 yards per game), finished second in rushing (168.1), and allowed the sixth-fewest sacks (25). Davis helped pave the way for Derrick Henry to produce the NFL's eighth all-time 2,000-yard rushing season (2,027).

TITANS TIDBITS: 
• Growing up, Davis was 'always a pretty big kid.' He played on the offensive or defensive line during Pop Warner, and estimates that in the fourth grade he weighed around 200 pounds.
• Davis was invited to the 2019 Senior Bowl, which he credits for helping him during the draft process. He went head-to-head with defensive linemen from larger conferences, and as an athlete from a smaller conference, he credits his performance at the Senior Bowl for helping put his name into the conversation ahead of the draft.
• Davis' father purchased him a fishing rod as a child and would take him to the pond near their home in Ashburn, Va., to fish and relax.
