If and when he takes the field, many will consider him the first pure Panamanian to play in the NFL.Davis grew up in Panama City, played a little club football and went to the University of South Florida. But his strength and hunger were enough for him to beat out Fred Matua, who blocked for three Heisman Trophy winners at Southern Cal. Marinelli said Davis caught the coaches off-guard with how quickly he picked up the offense."All he's done is work and improve and knock people down," Marinelli said. "The best way to say it is that he's knocked people on their back."http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060903/SPORTS01/609030586/-1/BUSINESS07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
