Keith Davis Shows His Importance On Special Teams

Feb 16, 2009 at 09:05 AM

Name: Keith Davis
Position: Safety
Height/Weight: 5-11, 207
Experience: Five seasons
College: Sam Houston State University
Key stat: Twenty, as in leading the team with 20 special teams tackles. The Cowboys certainly knew what they were doing when re-signing him after training camp once the Miami Dolphins released the former Cowboys safety/special teams player when it became obvious to them he wasn't going to break into the starting lineup at safety. And this performance in 2008 was not something new. Davis had 18 special teams tackles in 2007 and a career-high 21 in 2004.
