Veteran linebacker Thomas Davis is already having a big impact with the Los Angeles Chargers, as he has apparently made a great impression on the team at the start of offseason workouts.
“Man, that’s a big piece,” Chargers safety Derwin James said, according to Darin Gantt of Pro Football Talk. “He’s a vocal leader. A great guy. I can see as I’ve been around him. He’s a good guy to help mentor me especially as a young guy coming in trying to lead. He’s been doing it a long time for 15 years. So he’s a guy that’s willing to help, already I can see (that). It’s good to have people like that added to the locker room … He’s working hard, and you can tell that he’s a competitor. I can see it in him.”
Davis may be older, but his approach has not changed.
“I love to compete,” Davis said. “That’s one of the things that’s allowed me to be able to play for this long. I just love to go out and be able to compete, no matter what we’re doing. Whether it’s sprints. Whether it’s during walk-throughs. It’s the competitive side in me, and I think that’s what makes the game fun.”
The 36-year-old has previously spent the first 14 years of his NFL career with the Carolina Panthers, making three Pro Bowl appearances and earning a First-Team All-Pro selection along the way.
Davis is coming off of a 2018 campaign in which he finished with 79 tackles, a couple of fumble recoveries, and six passes defended.
