J.C. Davis took advantage of ‘great opportunity’ vs. Dolphins
Davis spoke about his performance after playing 81 offensive snaps for the Giants on Saturday.
New York Giants' rookie sixth-round draft pick, J.C. Davis, played all 81 snaps at left tackle during Saturday's 26-3 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The 22-year-old was graded as the top performer among the Giants' offensive players and has not conceded a pressure in 102 offensive snaps, 46 of which were pass-blocking snaps. Speaking to the New York media on Monday, Davis commented on the sweltering conditions, mentioning it was the first time he had ever played in such heat while with New Mexico before his stints at Illinois.
Davis acknowledged the opportunity for the coaching staff to observe his capabilities at left tackle and stated that while there were areas for improvement, the primary objective was securing the win. Recently, Davis transitioned from exclusively working with the third team to receiving second-team reps. He emphasized the importance of continuous effort and learning from his counterpart, Andrew Thomas, the starting left tackle in the NFL.
The Giants now possess two swing-tackles in Davis and Marcus Mbow, who could potentially also take on guard duties.
