Florida. Jarrad Davis . 31. player. 55. Linebacker is becoming a serious concern for the Pittsburgh Steelers. James Harrison and Lawrence Timmons are battling Father Time. Bud Dupree and Ryan Shazier have health problems and Jarvis Jones is looking like a bust. There just aren’t a lot of guarantees in that group at the moment. This leads one to think they have to go get more help in the draft in order to provide more insurance. Doesn’t matter if it’s insider or outside at this point.
<p>The beauty of Jarrad Davis is he can be of help in almost every aspect. He’s an athletic and rangy player who can cover lots of ground. He’s aggressive at the line of scrimmage, able to bring heat as a blitzer. In coverage? Though not a natural in coverage he understands what his job is in such situations and is rarely beaten badly by his assignments. The versatile ways in which he can be utilized make him exactly the type of reinforcements this defense needs.</p>. LB
